spin off / Hannah Schillinger

„spin off” is based on „runners“, Hannah Schillinger's graduation piece at HZT Berlin, which premiered in June 2022 with a group of 7 dancers at Reinbeckhallen Berlin. In this 35-minute solo piece or „virtual sculpture“, the performer devotes themselves to a large circular object. What plays a supporting role in the original piece, becomes a main character here. Together, the dancer and the object explore transforming loops of exhaustion into cyclical processes of regeneration and resouring. By navigating through spheres of labour, care, fiction and play, they dive into the poetics of attention, circularity and subtle surprise - and thus open up a space for contemplative recalibration.

Myrth / Verena Herterich

The performer feels her way along inner unevenness and geological unrest into landscapes. They encounter sediments and begin to reshape the physical relief. This relief is (also) the body. A body read as female, embarking on a process of excavation and detachment. The performer, carefully pushing, brings their figure to the ground. Along fine lines between poses and socially constructed movement patterns, the performer beats clefts and begins to wash their body with her movement. She settles into poses, arrives there to pause and stand firm, overturns, takes position to free from internalised male/sexualized-gazing by exhibiting gazes with her gaze, embodying body with her body. The body becomes a sensor, a seismograph, a strategy, an emancipation, a language, a joyous force.
