brut accessible / Touch tour in German | Duration: approx. 30 minutes
imagetanz 2025

On Friday, 28 March, a touch tour will take place before the performance of shining rose. The audience will have the opportunity to meet the performers of shining rose, who will present their costumes. Theresa Scheinecker / Ray and Katharina Senk / Senki will give a guided tour of the stage set.
Meeting point is at 18:50 in the foyer. Participation is free of charge, no registration is necessary.

With touch tours, brut Wien offers an alternative to verbal introductions to performances, focusing on senses that have previously been neglected during theatre visits. Tactile tours are aimed at people with and without disabilities. The format enables visitors to get closer to the stage, costumes and props via their sense of touch and explore them intensively. Visitors can also get in touch with performers and receive a wide range of contextual information.

 

maria mercedes consists of Julia Maria Müllner and Camilla Mercedes Schielin. They live and work as dancers and choreographers in Vienna and Stockholm. As a duo, they make choreographies inspired by popular culture and move them into bizarre settings. Both of them are interested in fluctuating encounters between audience and performance. Since autumn of 2020, maria mercedes’s pieces have been shown at WUK, Tanzquartier Wien, Kunstverein Eisenstadt, Haus.Wien, Mühlbauer, Bridging Cologne and KEX Fringe Kyoto in collaboration with Yoh Morishita.

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
