Notes from Artistic Practice

Part of "Violence of Inscriptions #3"

  • Dialogue
English / 

The question of collectivity is at the core of the work of Berlin-based artistwin deufert & plischke who explores for more than ten years now the principle of collective writing, of writing in common, in their choreographic work. Since Just in Time, the audience is actively involved in the process, creating dance through writing and text through dancing. The project unfolds across three cities that are linked through their distinct histories of cultural migrations. By collecting letters from the inhabitants of these places, the artists gather the material for a collective act of moving together. Dance, here, appears in all its possible inscriptions: loving, charming, sexy, nasty, harmless, the last way out, a good-bye, an illness or a movement anticipating one`s death..  With the example of Just in Time, deufert & plischke will address issues of collective imagination that they connect to the idea of dancing societies.

The lecture presentation is followed by a dialogue between Kattrin Deufert, Thomas Plischke and Sandra Noeth.
