Theresa Scheinecker / Ray, Katharina Senk / Senki
DeepDive into Dancing
for blind and visually impaired people
The workshop addresses visually impaired and blind people who are curious to immerse themselves in the world of contemporary dance. Using playful and creative approaches, the two artists will lead improvisation exercises and short movement sequences and thus share the basic concepts of contemporary dance. This get-together will focus on the joy of movement and spontaneity. People with no dance experience are very welcome!
DeepDive into Dancing is a workshop format that was developed as part of the series brut accessible together with dancers Theresa Scheinecker / Ray and Katharina Senk / Senki. In collaboration with the Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired in Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland, the joint journey was launched on 11 November with a first dance workshop on their premises. The second workshop will now take place directly at brut nordwest so that participants can also get to know the theatre.
Theresa Scheinecker / Ray (she/her) lives in Vienna as a white, disabled artist and psychologist. Before being part of PARASOL (TQW) in 2022, Ray had already appeared in pieces by Ian Kaler, Alix Eynaudi and Michael Turinsky. Her movement language is derived from various practices such as urban styles, acrobatics and contemporary. Last year, Ray entered the field of audio description based on her own experience as a visually impaired person. She now wants to share her perspective with the approach to create more accessibility for blind and visually impaired audiences in the dance and performance scene.
Katharina Senk / Senki (she/her) lives in Vienna as white, female, non-disabled dancer. She performed in pieces by the likes of Doris Uhlich, Florentina Holzinger, Sara Ostertag, Georg Blaschke and Michael Turinsky. In her own art practice, Senki works on combining her interest in post-humanism, pleasure and inter-sectional feminism with her knowledge in the fields of dance, movement and martial arts. Together with Maartje Pasman, Senki runs the association tanz.sucht.theater that has in recent years created exciting projects with many important companions, considering the idea of access on several levels. Senki turned to artistic audio description in late 2022. www.katharinasenk.com
