Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In the past fifteen years, international contemporary dance / live art forms have developed artistic and theoretical discourses. There are new experimental formats and investigations on live performance and media. The Viennese scene of contemporary dance is reflecting the European situation. In "Ungeprüfte Qualität" we will reflect the state of art of contemporary dance and performance theoratically and practically. Starting from the concrete performance program in Vienna between October 2011 and January 2012 we will critically discuss the different forms of body representation.
