Artist in Residence Ewa Bańkowska

14.02-06.03

Nadalokal will welcome Ewa Bańkowska as resident, developing her performance Kurz und Knapp which will premiere on 28.04.2022 in WUK. She will work on the following questions:

How to report living? How to announce a personal sensations? How to emote a fact? How to make self-sentiment appealing and self-pity attractive?

In “kurz und knapp” Ewa Bańkowska uses the format of a newscast show to stage a personal, poetic report. Starting with a dry delivery of general facts and observations of reality, she arrives at frictional dead-end streets and finds herself stranded on the comforting island of escapism, eventually laying open an emotional struggle to accept some of life’s inevitable events, like e.g. death. While trying to keep professional, she reports in a

RECLAIM!
THE POWER OF COMMUNITIES

07-10.02.2022

A space to explore the radical potential of collective practice between artists and activists. From approaches that involve intimacy, collective writing, collective singing, cooking and eating together, dancing as a political movement, honoring the dead. These artistic practices invite us to surpass individuality, and build together a creative, flexible, invasive network of alianceship. Through practices of re-existance this is an invitation to create ways of living together that undermine the colonial, capitalist, racist and sexist orders.

ARTIST IN RESIDENCE ROCIO MERANO ( AR / ES/DE)

1ST STUDIO SHOWING 23.11.2021 18:30 (Postponed due to Lock Down)

In Matria, the choreography explores the moving forces between body presence and colonial/patriarchal history through the embodiment of the Malambo, the gaucho resistance dance (currently known in Argentina as an exclusive solo competition among men). The dancers embody the gestures of mounted combat and its agitated rhythms while negotiating their own survival in the dance. A connection between the essential and the disciplinary in dance is revealed as a extension of colonial relations.

BIO Rocio

Born in Argentina and based in Berlin since 2015, Rocio Marano was trained in physical theatre, martial arts and contemporary dance in an independent path. Along side her training she studied at Escola Superior d’Art and Disseny of the Balearic Islands.

HEARTBEAT / INNER_SELF / INSTALLATION
07 – 08.2021

Nadalokal will welcome Elena Francalanci and David Eder as residents. During their stay they will work on the project: “DON´T TOUCH MY HEART”, a performance/installation that has as central point of the research the heart. The heart as a movement, as sound/beat, as motor, as emotional reference, as the constant rhythm. The live motor of the performance is the actual development of the heartbeat of the performers, with a live evolution of it, possible because of a stethoscope-microphone attached to the breast. It creates a relationship between each other beats, making the heart move the body, embodying the organ itself. It is a manifestation of the pure and row beat of the heart, celebrating life developing through different state of the mind and of the body.

Nadalokal will welcome Zosia Hołubowska and Julia Giertz as residents. During their stay they will work on the “Community of Grieving”, an intimate ritual that creates space for mourning over what we as a collective have lost during the pandemic. It searches for new forms of being together. The ritual engages music, choreography and a new media installation. In terms of music, the project refers to the Eastern European tradition of lamentation and evening liturgy, i.e. vespers present in many Christian rites. The movement of the performers is oriented towards holding the space for the audience to go through a landscape of emotions. The new media installation in the middle represents the focus point of the ritual, organised around a circle.

Nadalokal will welcome Alex Franz Zehetbauer (born 1990 in Brooklyn) a sonic choreographer, performance artist, and singer based in Vienna. He works from a body and a world that is full of noise. In his pieces Alex often incorporates water as a material, but also as a source of inspiration for choreographic strategies. Alex has a love affair with melody and often places the melodic voice in strange or unideal situations for sound production. Alex sees the sonic body as a highly physical one.
