STADTKÖRPER

The project STADTKÖRPER was inspired by the architectural city scape of Berlin, which I had the chance of exploring during a stay in 2013. Even though certain parts of the city are marked by new constructions, chains and restorations, the historic traces of the city are omnipresent and hard to overlook. The way in which the energy of these traces, their heaviness and their decay manifests itself in the everyday presence inspired me to try to capture them in the interplay between dance and photography. Dance, an artform of presence, unites with the still image of photography; thus atmospheres, expressions, shapes and impressions are being captured.

The working process was from the very beginning conceived as a collaboration with various different photographers. In all this, I have been particularly interested in the individual approaches of the subject movement, but also in the diverse perspectives on buildings, the city scape, and especially their framing and composition. How does the still image of photography capture what seems to inevitably escape it?

The exhibition shows a selection of images that have been created throughout this project.

Idea & Concept: Elisabeth Schilling

Movement Studies #2 / Bruchstückhafte Zwischengezeiten

Elisabeth has just performed her Solo Movement Studies #2 / Bruchstückhafte Zwischengezeiten with great success at London’s Festival CounterPoint Shorts. After invitation by Julia K Gleich, who curated and produced the event, Elisabeth has been able to create her piece with generous support by TROIS C-L, Centre de Création Chorégraphique Luxembourgeois and Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Literatur, Mainz. See Work / Choreography section for more details on this piece.

Performance: 7th May 7:45pm, Conway Hall, WC1R 4RL, London
Title: Movement Study #2 / Bruchstückhafte Zwischengezeiten

The piece is a compositional study of my research on movement qualities and textures, the way they resonate in time and space, oscillate and compliment each other.

Choreographic Assistance: Anu Sistonen / Simone Mousset
