Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In the past fifteen years the international contemporary dance and live art has developed an artistic theoretical platform, continously introduces new performance formats and keeps up a discourse on live performance and media. The Viennese situation has been instrumental to this development. in "Ungeprüfte Qualität" we reflect the state of the art of contemporary dance theoretically and pracitcally: within this semester it concerns works by Dave St.Pierre, Laurent Chetouane, Superamas, Tim Etchells, Gob Squad, Frans Poelstra, Robert Steijn, Sasa Asentic and others, of which we will investigate the different forms of physical presentation in performative and ciritical ways.
