Interventional Choreographies (English)

In the CRC, this project examines the choreography’s potential for intervention by looking at the proliferation of movement cultures since the 1990s. As a hybrid artform that exists in the space between stage and practice-based experiment, dance has since assumed a key function in the field of movement in public space. Dance has developed a vocabulary that has been refined by a variety of training methods and practices and by new choreographic forms of collaboration, mediation, and research, as well as by an interplay of different structures. As such, dance is ideally suited to initiate acts of »stepping in« (i.e. intervening), and resistance, as well as of collective participation. In the interview Sophie Schultze-Allen talks about this and the interaction between mental and body work.
