Thoracic Park

A guest choreography for the Music and Arts University of the City of Vienna

This work is based on solo formats that were developed by the students, who took their inspiration from individually selected works of visual art. A one-week intensive confrontation with the practice of the Feldenkrais method led to a refined awareness of touch qualities, to an increased mobility – particularly in the chest area – and to the development of gestural references to the surrounding space. As a result the material originated from the solo works was used to create partnering and group sequences, which in turn contributed to the design of a cumulative choreographic landscape.
