Into dwelling #2
Choreographic Study · Wiederaufnahme

Sabine Zahn
In the frame of Fold – Into The City
“To dwell” means both to inhabit and to linger, stay, settle, or live. The study “Into Dwelling #2” explores choreographic forms of access to habitation as a temporary and sensory, physical process. This one-hour movement session around Alexanderplatz seeks to open possibilities for habitation with embodied activity and create personal spaces in the middle of the complexly dynamic centre of Berlin.
Habitability, we believe, is not only ensured in architecturally and socio-politically regulated spaces but can also be generated by the careful weaving of personal and interpersonal processes, enabling new, though microscopically tiny, urban realities to unfold.
The choreography “Into dwelling #2” creates the conditions for these minimal interventions. Participants are invited to provisionally occupy subtle situations and movements.

Sabine Zahn
Sabine Zahn (Berlin) investigates choreographic strategies for expanding the way urbanity and urban space can be lived, expressed, and transformed. Her practice as a choreographer focuses on establishing an individual environment within a wider practical, discursive, and artistic field spanning urbanism, choreography, and life. She works on performances, publications, and research projects such as Stadterweitern and strives for a transdisciplinary approach. Through numerous grants she has had the opportunity to explore the physical tactics of everyday navigation in various places, including the Colombian city of Medellín. Sabine is part of AREAL – artistic research lab Berlin and Fellow of the THIRD program at DAS Graduate School Amsterdam.
