THIS COURSE IS FULL.
In this short encounter with the artist and choreographer Philipp Gehmacher, notions of materiality will be reflected upon in relation to the body, movement and physicality. Philipp Gehmacher's current works will be a starting point to the investigation of the relationship between the subject of the performer, materials, objects, and their inherent autonomy. Last but not least, concerns of performance taking place in galleries or theatres will be addressed and explored.
Philipp Gehmacher lives in Vienna and works internationally. He is a choreographer, dancer and student at the University of Applied Arts Vienna in the “Sculpture and Space” programme. His works on gesture, space and touch have featured in numerous festivals and venues around the world. He has collaborated across art forms, most importantly with the choreographer Meg Stuart. Gehmacher initiated the lecture performance series walk+talk and is currently focusing on objects and sculpture. He received the renowned Jerwood Choreography Award and the Austrian Advancement Award for Dance from the BMUKK.The course is organised in cooperation with the Baltic Circle Festival.
