Teaching weekly classes from February to April ~ Mondays 19:30–21h at @tanzquartierwien — Warm Welcome! ”Dance for 100 Ways to Stumble” Open level contemporary dance and improvisation class that supports awkwardness and cultivates playfulness. Drawing from my own movement practice, I offer unruly variations of simple modern, postmodern, and contemporary techniques in solo and partner work. These approaches are explored through solo stumbles, partner exercises, and group improvisations. Each session begins with a talk, followed by a physical warm-up with deep breathing, spinal mobilization, strengthening, and shaking. Movement exercises include improvisation scores, floor work, and choreographic sequences that engage with tension and release, stumbling, falling, and gathering, musicality, theatricality, and different approaches to touch. The classes close with a moment to land back into one’s own body. This class is open to people of all ages and abilities who are curious about exploring their movement and expression. The invitation is directed especially toward queer, non-binary, and trans people, as well as anyone who may often feel hesitant to enter contemporary dance spaces. Place: Tanzquartier Wien Studios, studio 1 Time: Mondays 19:30–21h — from 02. February to 20. April Cost: € 18/*6 (please contact TQW for discount inquiry) Photo: Moritz Franz Zangl @moritz_franz

Thank you Contemporary Dance Association Slovenia @drustvozasodobniples and Bara Kolenc @barakolenc + Tjaša Bertoncelj for hosting so warmly @yynona and I with “Pitchfall” at the Slovenian Contemporary Dance Awards Ceremony in Cankarjev Dom “Pitchfall reflects on the spectacles and phenomena of fandom through sound, movement and personal archives of adoration. In the interplay between dance and music, rehearsal and performance, Pitchfall observes how listening, attention and adoration unfold across bodies and media within hyper-mediated Western landscapes.” Supported by The Austrian Cultural Forum Ljubljana

Honored to present »Confessions of an Ex-Perfectionist« Oct 10 & 11, 2025, steirischerherbst‘25 as part of herbst cabare A feverish autobiographical radio show and an intimate living room concert—a gathering suspended somewhere between palliative confession and naughty storytime. Dog-eared notebooks open up with a patchwork of diary entries and memoirs of sex escapees. Stories about women who vanish and reappear in history’s footnotes, their migrations rewritten as love stories. Tales like wounds scabbed over. Text feedback: Ari Ban Research: Vilja Byström With thanks for the stories to Anitra Byström and Maj Byström Commissioned and produced by steirischerherbst ’25 in coproduction with not your babe Thank you @beatrice.forchini and @thurygabi for the invitation to make this work happen at @steirischerherbst

We had the pleasure to join the Club Liaison by Liesl Raff in South-Korea in the first Austrian Pavilion at the Gwangju-Biennale. Thx you @lieslraff @caro_noe @phileas.art for the warm invitation to join you and perform in the @austrianpavilion_gwangju at the @leekangha__artmuseum ❤️‍🔥 Big thanks to the wounderful local team for smooth organisation, translation & hosting @sso.__.hi_ @mamedrung @jinyoung___shin @apparatus.or.kr and the technical team! What a pleasure to share the evening and the stage with Karolina Preuschl! Artistic production management @florianmayrmayr Photos Swan Park 🙏

💜 FINISSAGE | Austrian Pavilion at the 15th Gwangju Biennale Performance Programme @ Club Liaison Luca Bonamore and Lau Lukkarila + Karolina Preuschl Saturday, 30 November, 7pm Luca Bonamore and Lau Lukkarila are choreographers and performers that share an interest in kitsch, expressive play and make-believe as performative strategies for queer resilience and bliss. As they move through a choreography of tender intimacy and dramatic embodiment of their childhood icons, their stunning performance conjures personal as well as interpersonal memories and fantasies, tapping into the infinite potentials those might hold in store.   Karolina Preuschl is a musician, writer and visual artist. Fusing sound art and performance art, her work is characterised by the use of analogue synthesizers and voice to interpret self-written texts. Her performances are raw, witty and full of surprises. The playful punk improvises with electronics, noise, onomatopoeic sounds and vocal experiments at the very boundaries of the frequency spectrum to fuse different layers of meaning and interpretation in an uncompromising way. __ 퍼포먼스 프로그램 <클럽 리에종(Club Liaison)> 루카 본아모레 & 라우 루카릴라 + 카롤리나 프로이슐 (Luca Bonamore & Lau Lukkarila + Karolina Preuschl) 11월 30일 토요일 오후 7시 루카 본아모레(b. 1996, 이탈리아 로마)와 라우 루카릴라(b. 1987, 핀란드 오울루)는 퀴어한 회복탄력성과 기쁨을 위한 수행적 전략으로써의 키치(kitsch)와 표현 연극, 허구적 믿음에 관한 관심을 공유하는 안무가이자 퍼포먼스 예술가이다. 어린 시절 우상에 대한 애정 어린 친밀감을 극적으로 구현한 안무를 완성해 나감에 따라 두 예술가의 놀라울 만큼 훌륭한 퍼포먼스는 공동의 기억 뿐만 아니라 개인의 내밀한 기억을, 그리고 환상을 불러일으키며 어딘가 가까운 곳에서 잠자고 있을 무한한 가능성의 세계를 소환한다.   카롤리나 프로이슐(b. 1991, 오스트리아 비엔나)은 음악가이자 작가이며 시각 예술가이다. 사운드 아트와 행위예술을 엮어내는 프로이슐은 스스로 써 내려간 텍스트를 해석하기 위해 아날로그 신시사이저와 목소리를 사용한다. 작가의 퍼포먼스들은 거칠고 재치 있으며 놀라움으로 가득하다. 이 장난기 많은 반항아는 주파수 스펙트럼의 경계에서 전자기기, 노이즈, 의성어의 소리, 보컬 실험을 즉흥적으로 변주하여 다양한 의미와 해석의 층위들을 견고한 방식으로 융합한다.  @luca.bonamore @same.ideas.okay @gwangjubiennale @lieslraff @phileas.art @kunstkulturministerium @leekangha__artmuseum @fiona.liewehr @caro_noe @florianmayrmayr @recollect_artcare @apparatus.or.kr #AustrianPavilionGwangjuBiennale #GwangjuBiennale #GwangjuBiennalePavillion #ClubLiaison #LieslRaff #Phileas #Gwangju #AustrianPavilion #ContemporaryArt #Performance
