Mirage and Tendernesses … on issues of collective, common and solidarity

Lecture by Ivana Müller in the frame of Tanznacht Forum EXPANDED

The notion of the collective and participation has long been one of the central themes of her work, alongside representations of communities and groups moving towards different forms of utopia.

In today's socio-eco-political environment, the notions of solidarity and the common occupy an important and contested place.  Can the idea of ‘sharing a collective body’ through different artistic and performative practices truly challenge the model of ‘individualism’ and provoke different degrees of engagement?

In her lecture for the Tanznacht Forum EXPANDED, Ivana Müller will share thoughts and ideas from her current artistic research — the first creative threads that she is weaving around her current creation ‘Mirages and Tendernesses...’ like a warm blanket.

Supported by Tanzfabrik Berlin & Tanznacht Berlin.

Funded by the Senatsverwaltung für Kultur und Gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt des Landes Berlin through the four-year, open to all sections funding programme for festivals and series of events.

Supported by the Institut français and the République française.

Through her choreographic and theatrical work as well as her performances, installations, texts and videos, Ivana Müller explores poetics of language, rethinks  the body, movement, voices and their forms of representations, revisits the place of imagination and the imaginary, and questions the notion of participation. In this, she works to inscribe the collective and the collaboration in the artistic practice exploring the idea of social choreography. Her work is often experimental, radical and formally innovative. The idea of living forms, in perpetual movement remains central to her artistic interest. Although she creates in a variety of media, theater remains the primary context in which she develops and presents her work. Her pieces have been produced and presented in festivals and theaters in Europe, United States, Brazil and Asia over the past 20 years.
