In response to the exhibition ‘Ingrid Godon. Ich wünschte’, which shows works by the artist Ingrid Godon and the lyricist Ton Tellegen, Elisabeth is working with young dance enthusiasts to create a choreographic work that will be shown to the public on 27 and 28 February as part of the exhibition at the Museum für Angewandte Kunst Frankfurt a.M..

‘With dancer and choreographer Elisabeth Schilling, the young people will get to know contemporary dance and translate images, texts, feelings and thoughts into movement. Step by step, they will feel the power of their own bodies and work together with a lot of creativity to create a choreography that can be performed in the museum rooms in the afternoon.’

‘One second it’s there…’

Movement, time, space and the art dance in galleries and museums

A response to the event by Emmie McLuskey. 

Here you can find a record and response to a day of talks, provocations, lectures and performance work instigated and produced by Tim Nunn, Elisabeth Schilling and Simone Stewart on the occasion of Schilling’s performance of ‘FELT’ at Glasgow University’s Hunterian Gallery. 

‘As with any event, it’s hard to relay or communicate an explanation or response to whole day of discussion, performance, participation and lectures in a written form.

In the programme for the day I was listed as the rapporteur, after googling what this meant ‘a person who is appointed by an organisation to report on the proceedings of its meetings,’ I tried to think what that might look like. Knowledge and the accumulation of it, is so often built into hierarchies, a written one being privileged over a v isual, a visual being privileged over a felt one etc. Documentation of performance practices posing endless problems and solutions. I wanted to attempt to record and pass on the information shared that day as best I could, a subjective perspective on what surfaced for me, my thoughts appearing throughout,
exploring formally how these knowledges intersect and depart from each other.’

For the 12h Non-State Parade / International Symposium of Cooper Gallery Dundee on 30th November 2019 Elisabeth was invited to create a response to the ongoing exhibition by artist Jasmina Cibic. Together with her team, Elisabeth created the concept named ‘Anthem Moves’.

The movement score will be developed from research on the implicit and explicit rules of behaviour – as well as their breaching – while anthems are being played. How do people behave and move? Which modes of affirmation and critique do they develop for these occasions? While the standard image of the body during the national anthem is certainly that of a static and reverential servant, the actual body is traversed by micro- and macro-movements, shown in facial expressions, body language and gestures, both conscious and unconscious. From these movements, captured uncountable times, the score will develop a language to express a wide range of political affects in a minimalistic and often static, statuesque style.

The musical score will be composed by Andréas Papapetrou, who, after research into official and inofficial anthems and their political and musical histories, will draw on existing anthems to create a new score, taking keys, harmonies, rhythmical structure and general pompous and officious qualities as a starting point.

The work will be dramaturgically supported by Moritz Ganzen.
