Ganz nah dran mit In the Field
Die In The Field-Gruppe erkundet weiterhin das vielfältige Programm der Wiener Festwochen. Während eines exklusiven Austauschs mit Anna Witt („Beathouse Donaustadt“) wurde der Intimität des Herzschlags nachgespürt, während es im Gespräch mit Mette Edvardsen und einigen ihrer „lebendigen Bücher“ um die spezielle Intimität der One-to-One-Sessions ging. Der Besuch einer Vorstellung von „aCORdo“ mit anschließendem Treffen der Performer und der Künstlerin Elisabeth Bakambamba Tambwe gaben Aufschluss über die Wahrnehmung und Darstellung des „Anderen“.
In the Field unterwegs
Am Eröffnungswochenende der Wiener Festwochen hat sich die In the Field-Gruppe aufgemacht in die Donaustadt. Dort haben sie die Generalprobe zu „Diamante“ und Vorstellungen von „Beat House Donaustadt“, „undercurrents“ und „Corbeaux“ besucht. Teil des Programms war auch der Talk von Mariano Pensotti („Diamante“) und Christoph Reinprecht und ein exklusiver Austausch mit Sarah Vanhee („undercurrents“) und Veza Fernández.
