Sööt/Zeyringer
Tiina Sööt and Dorothea Zeyringer have been collaborating under the name Sööt/Zeyringer since 2012. At the intersection of visual arts and choreography, their performances deal with socially relevant as well as personal topics in a poetic and humorous way. Their most recent works looked at stereotypes of women in theatre, explored female rage and documented some forgotten heroines of slapstick. Sööt/Zeyringer’s pieces have been shown, for example, at brut Wien, Tanzquartier Wien, the Wiener Festwochen, SOPHIENSÆLE, Berlin, and Schwankhalle Bremen.
TIINA SÖÖT works in Vienna, Bucharest and Tallinn. She received her master’s degree in Performative Arts at Estonian Art Academy and also studied Performative Art at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Besides the work of Sööt/Zeyringer she is developing a documentary performance practice together with an Estonian dramaturg Aet Kuusik, focusing on feminism, gender and sexuality. Between 2014 and 2018 she taught performance at Estonian Art Academy. In 2018 she published a photo book Heli riided together with Mai Arslan and in 2022 her debut documentary novel Minu Rumeenia – Absurdi armunud.
DOROTHEA ZEYRINGER lives and works in Vienna. She completed her studies at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and studied at the HZT Berlin. She received a danceWEB scholarship from ImPulsTanz in 2017, as well as a BKA scholarship, the ArtStart-Studio scholarship in 2018 and the foreign studio grant Paris from BMKOES in 2022. She worked as an artistic assistant for Michikazu Matsune and taught at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna on performance and research. Her artistic practice oscillates between visual arts, choreography and language.
