A Spell Action for Self Love, Body and Community Empowerment
Interview with Alex Franz Zehetbauer & Guests
There's a sonic map emanating from the door
And if you stay in
You're gonna get much more
There's my self-care
I put it over there
Everything you see
Is with love and flare
Alex Franz Zehetbauer (born 1990 in Brooklyn) is a singer, sonic choreographer, and performance artist based in Vienna. His work engages with the voice as an embodied activity that moves aqueously between the realms of the physical, energetic, and collective-subconscious body. Alex is obsessed with water as a material and situation, as well as watery concepts of embodiment. He is trained in Aguahara and offers private sessions of his own take on this aquatic bodywork, incorporating his lexicon of underwater voice explorations and their capacity to caress the physical body. Alex studied vocal performance, dance, acting and composition at the Experimental Theater Wing at NYU Tisch School of the Arts and the International Theater Workshop in Amsterdam. His works have been shown in New York, Baltimore, Vienna, Salzburg and Madalena, Azores and have been supported by Leimay Cave, Arts Unfold, INK Initiative, Arbeitsplatz Wien, Evening Hours NY, Huggy Bears, APAP, brut Wien and Wien Kultur; he has been awarded the BKA Startstipendium für Musik und Darstellende Kunst (2018), the TURBO Residency - ImPulsTanz 2018, the TQW Training Scholarship (2019), and the danceWEB Scholarship (2019).www.alexfranzzehetbauer.com
