Eva Maria Schaller / Matthias Kranebitter – Choreographic Miniatures: Vestris 4.0
The project experiments with de-masking a historical choreography and translating it into a contemporary form of expression.
Based on the Solo „Vestris“ by Leonid Yacobson, which depicts short episodes of the life of Vestris, a famous dancer in the 18th century, the dancer steps into the historical, male movement-material and distorts, rips open the original choreography from within. In a close relation to the music new associations and meanings occur, as does a space for the musicality of the dance.

Sebastian Gräfe / Matthias Kranebitter: Stone Conference Arad
In our times of permanent stress and alienation there is a growing longing for tranquility, simplicity and a “back-to-nature”. for many of us, a symbol of the archaic and the timeless is the stone. but what do the stones have to tell us? starting point of the project was finding a possibility to listen to stones. the intention was not to make music with or for the stones, but they should be source of the music.
With contact microphones and contact speakers feedback circuits between different stones are generated, which make the structure-borne noise (Körperschall) audible. depending on the geological as well as the geometrical structure of the stones different frequencies occur – the stone can be heard through an active process of listening.
