Performance-Projekt with Andrew Wass

What is the space between the individual and the group? How does observation affect creation? How does the soloist affect the group? How does the group influence the individual? How can the dynamic between the audience and performer be challenged, questioned, and contested? Accessing tools from Ensemble Thinking, the Viewpoints, Deborah Hay, and Barbara Dilley, this performance project will investigate performance as a shifting body of awarenesses. Starting in simplicity, we will consciously progress into the unknown by layering multiple knowns. The clearer we are with the What, When, and Where of our actions, the freer we can be with the Why.
Application for the project: mueller@tanzfabrik-berlin.de   Fee: 170 € / red: 150 € / professional dancers: 130 €

Open training "Asymmetric Autonomies - a technical approach to Contact Improvisation"
Starting with exercises that build anatomical awareness, we will explore specificity to increase the potential of the solo body. Accessing weight, concepts such as momentum, duration, repetition, speed, and loft will be investigated. Choreographic riffs will be used as points of departure to investigate listening and multiple forms of flow – mechanical, cognitive, and empathic.
Mo & Wed 18:15- 19:45   Fee: 10x card: 95 € / red.: 90 € / prof.: 70 €

Andrew Wass

By experimenting with aleatoric, improvisational, and indeterminate processes, Andrew Wass formalizes the coincidental and emphasizes the conscious processes of composition that are the generative source of much of his works. Influenced heavily by his undergraduate studies of Biochemistry at U.C. San Diego, Andrew works by creating a defined, almost crystalline palette in order to generate a myriad of possibilities. His initial exposure to improvisation was through the Lower Left Performance Collective’s summer workshops in San Diego in 1998. Since then he has performed and taught at festivals, theaters, and studios throughout the United States, Europe, and Japan. A graduate of the MA SoDA program of the HZT, he is currently pursuing an MPhil/PhD through the University of Chichester.  lowerleft.org   wasswasswass.com
