Ian Kaler
o.T. | (Incipient Futures)
In (Incipient Futures) the choreographer Ian Kaler continues his collaboration from the first and second part of his choreographic series o.T. (german acronym for „untitled“) with musician and multimedia artist Planningtorock.
The title of the piece signalizes to set in motion a plurality of futures. In O.T.‘s third edition Kaler and Planningtorock are joined live on stage by the guest-performer and fashion-designer Stephane Peeps Moun as well as the drummer Joy Leah Joseph.
(Incipient Futures) is an energetic and intimate exploration of how music, dance and movement form, alter and play with (temporal) unions, bonds and alliances, how we're being moved as a community and asks the question where we're heading towards as individuals and together.
The set-designer and visual artist Stephanie Rauch designes a close-encounter arena-like set-up for (Incipient Futures).
Ian Kaler studied Transmedia Art in Vienna and completed the Contemporary Art, Context, Choreography pilot course at the Inter-University Dance Centre at the Berlin University of the Arts. Since 2010 Kaler has been developing a physical and creative practice as a choreographic series in exchange with various artists. The first work series, Insignificant Others, consists of the “raw” practice performance Untitled Stills (2010) and the work (learning to look sideways), developed in 2011/2012. In the subsequent series, On Orientations (2013), the installative solo performance On Orientations | one place after and a second part, On Orientations | Untimely Encounters, were produced. The video installation On Orientations | Shifting the Burden – a collaboration with the video artist Anne Quirynen – was shown in August 2014 as part of the 8th Berlin Dance Night in the Patrick Ebensperger Gallery. In 2014/2015 Kaler developed his series of group works – Contingencies – which were shown in various versions (for studio, museum, theatre) and with changing casts and numbers of performers. In 2014, together with students from the BA course for dance at the DOCH Stockholm, Kaler developed The Situation, an adaptation of (learning to look sideways) for seven dancers. Currently Kaler is working on a new series with the working title o.T. The first work in the new series, o.T. | (the emotionality of the jaw), was performed in February 2015 in Halle G / Tanzquartier Wien. (the emotionality of the jaw) is the first cooperation between Kaler and Jam Rostron aka Planningtorock. The premiere of the second work in the series – o.T. | (gateways to movement) – was in July 2015 as part of the ImPulsTanz – Vienna International Dance Festival.
In April, Tanzquartier Wien and brut join forces for FEEDBACK and present a common selection of dance and performances made in Austria. International curators as well as the local audience can get an overview over current productions from the free dance and performance scene and discover quite some insider tips from the perspective of Tanzquartier Wien and brut.
