The Space Between I & We
Art Space Stift Millstatt: In "solo project(s)", curated by Andrea K. Schlehwein for the season finale, three young dancers and choreographers investigate the charged space between I and We
Andrea K. Schlehwein and her highly acclaimed artists' collective, NETZWERK AKS, stand for contemporary dance of international distinction. Since 2008, the Art Space at Millstatt Abbey has served as a temporary base where, under Schlehwein's dedicated direction, "each year, two to three full length dance productions alongside smaller formats are developed that mostly premiere in Millstatt before being presented at international festivals and renowned art venues worldwide."
Needless to say, the renowned dancer and choreographer also brings both emerging talents and established names to Millstatt for guest performances and residencies. As part of this year's guest performance series, Schlehwein concludes the season by presenting the outcome of the experimental residency format "solo project(s)" – "three strikingly different solo statements in contemporary dance. Each work pushes beyond the limits of the individual self and opens up spaces for collective experience and fresh perspectives."
This brings us to Valentin Alfery, Anamaria Bagarić, and Petra Peček, whose forms of expression draw on different artistic sources: contemporary dance, hip-hop/urban styles, neoclassical, acting, language, and philosophical debate.
It is therefore a highly resonant space in which the young choreographers' solos "not only negotiate personal states of mind but also revolve around the question of how much individuality a community can handle."
Interested? On 7th of November (from 6 p.m.) the Art Space welcomes you with three solo performances, two intermissions and a concluding artist talk.
