06.-09.06. waves: held in fluidity - exhibition @ 4lthangrund

How can allyship between contested water bodies and landscapes emerge? What potentials of care, of being held in crisis & flux, emerge at the margins? How may queer and trans perspectives morph human relationalities with the more-than-human world and what potential for change can they offer? 

Waves grapples with these questions of trans- and queer ecological embeddedness via hydrofeminist autoethnography, resulting in audiovisual poems, as well as performances that connect personal journeys with the changes of Vienna’s water environments. In the exhibition space, a blanketed textile landscape resembles how bodies change over time. Waves come and go, as we sew pieces together again, and make the mess sparkle.

This intimate project gives space to the liminal, calling on the waterness of all: an appeal to connection inspired by waters' permeability; for navigating the complexities and uncertainties in the myriad of crises we face, by learning from and caring for beings in flux.

15.06., 10.08., 28.09. entangled encounters

ecosomatics, movement and writing research labs

buzzing meadows - tickling gras - leafy lightplay - soft moss - juicy green - rough bark - entangled encounters to sense, move and learn-with

In this series of outdoor labs, we meet and are moved by other forms of life such as plants, wild animals, fungi. Guided by ecosomatic practices, we develop observation and witnessing skills - a deep-time, present being-with. These encounters inform both our movement and writing practices, leading us into a web of creative interconnectedness. From our experiences we gather emergent knowledge and ferment principles for relating with the more-than-human world through collective composition and exchange. A holistic research that encompasses self-discovery, exploration of perspectives and words, collective intelligence and regeneration, as well as cultural transformation by experiencing entanglement.

March 2025 - June 2025 careful collisions /// care // agency

 

open to drop in - 15-20-25 € per session

 

Tuesdays, 17:00-18:30 care

How we give/receive care is informed by our socialization and deeply embodied. Together, we will examine our patterns of care, cultivating practices to build sustainable webs of care in our dances and beyond. We will move (with) questions such as: What are my patterns (of care) when being in contact, when being in a group, and how can I potentially change them? How can we support each other without crossing our own boundaries? How can we show up for each other, when mistakes/failing happen/s?
In this course we will explore failing, falling, showing up, holding each other, nervous system regulation, weight sharing/support, emotional sharing, community care practices, integration in solo, partnering and group constellations.

Tuesdays, 18:40-20:10 agency

Agency is a sense of choice /// space for action which we want to cultivate and empower - in our dances and beyond. In this course we will move (with) questions such as: How can I allow myself to shift/change/leave at any point in contact? How can I stay in touch with my own needs, boundaries and curiosities while in contact? How can I harness freedom in a given frame, condition, system?
We will explore entering, exiting, re-entering contact, tracking and following personal space, boundaries, needs, curiosities in contact with others, speaking/acting up, saying no (and yes!), practice consent, and generate optionsoptionsoptions in solo, partnering and group constellations.

18. & 19.10. surely uncertain - A queer, moving exploration space for dealing creatively with uncertainties

Sometimes a lot is in the unknown. That can be beautiful, for example, because it leaves possibilities open or creates space for something new. But we also know the feeling of being overwhelmed and insecure when there’s a lot of uncertainty. How can I find a secure hold inside when things are going haywire on the outside? What can I do for myself when nothing seems to be fixed or some things seem to be left to chance? How can I deal with it when so much is unclear that planning and decision-making becomes difficult?

At this workshop-weekend we want to explore these and similar questions and develop helpful and strengthening tools for everyday life through movement, body awareness, and creativity.

 

facilitated by: Leno Gasser, art therapist (they/them; no pronouns) & Levi Mühlbacher (they/them; no pronouns)
