FRAME OF RESEARCH

Do – Undo (working title)

On the basis of their previous work A scripted situation Martina Ruhsam and Lisa Hinterreithner will create the durational participatory performance Do – Undo (working title). The two artists mostly want to deepen and re-think their research questions related to social choreographies and their socio-political implications and want to further investigate the ways in which the space and nonhuman things co-choreograph the movements of human beings in certain ways. Lisa Hinterreithner and Martina Ruhsam want to explore specific questions concerning instruction-based performance and the diversities of interaction.
