Description

Edition#1

In 2013 Christina Ciupke and Igor Dobricic jointly initiated a research project entitled “(by)invitation“. It was experienced in a range of conceptual “choreographic“ situations in different venues and the audiences were invited both personally and publicly. Christina Ciupke’s new format “Editions” which prepares and deepens artistic collaborations throws up outlines for performative ideas and situations. For “Edition#1: to dance“ Christina Ciupke and the dramaturg Igor Dobricic now join forces once again in a modified and extended working process. 

A project by Christina Ciupke and Igor Dobricic | Production management: Barbara Greiner. Supported by Kulturverwaltung des Berliner Senats in cooperation with Tanzfabrik Berlin.
Biographies

Christina Ciupke

Christina Ciupke (she/her) is a Berlin-based choreographer and performer. In her work she explores the fragile balance between the individual body and the world surrounding it. She interweaves traces of the past with present sensations and future imaginations. Drawing on the kinesthetic memory of her choreographic work she engages with central elements such as time, the body, the other, and (in)visibility. Close collaborations with other artists play a specific role in her practice. She holds a Master’s degree in Choreography from the Amsterdam University of the Arts.

Igor Dobričić

He shares his life between Berlin and Amsterdam and is working internationally as a dramaturg and artistic advisor, collaborating with several choreographers/makers (Nicole Beutler, Keren Levi, Christina Ciupke, Alma Sodeberg, Meg Stuart, Arkadi Zaides a/o). In a role of a professor and mentor he has a long-term engagement with the School for New Dance (SNDO) in Amsterdam and K3 Choreographic Center in Hamburg. From 2010 onwards he is also developing his own performative research project under the title TableTalks. During the last 7 years TableTalks is hosted and presented in a number of different cultural contexts : from Amsterdam to Stockholm, Cairo, Sao Paulo and Vienna.
