Description

In “Allongé” Julian Weber continues his interdisciplinary approach, based on an examination of Constantin Brânçusi’s sculptural work in collaboration with a ballet dancer and a pole dancer. Brânçusi’s oeuvre and his pioneering formal and contextual approaches serve as a starting point for the development of a stage set which is investigated for its performative and choreographic potential. Through the collision of the different disciplines and dance styles, both opposites and parallels of these techniques are examined, as well as a potential entanglement of the styles. Further "Allongé" explores the possibilities of emancipation from defined role models and subject/object attributions through a contemporary perspective on tradition and handicraft.

Biographies

July Weber

July Weber is a choreographer, sculptor, and curator. July's work deals with spaces of interaction involving body, material, and movement, and is situated at the intersection of choreography and visual art. New materialist ideas around the deconstruction of power dynamics within subject-object relations are a driving force in their practice. July has received various residencies and grants, such as the Berlin Art Prize in 2015 and was invited to Tanzplattform in 2022. July founded NEW FEARS Gallery, which won the prize for best projects-pace in 2023.
