Vienna dances with Ukraine

The dance project was conceived and is led by two women who fled Odessa in spring 2022. Carola von Herder is a dancer and choreographer, resident in Odessa for years, Liuba Hurieva is a painter and conceptual artist, born and resident in Odessa. In Vienna they met Mieke Bubenzer, a conceptual artist working in the field of bodywork, who joined them. Within the framework of a rehearsal phase supported by brut, they enable people who have fled Ukraine to have an artistic encounter with people from Vienna. The participants represent the diversity of society in Ukraine in Austria, have different social backgrounds and come from different age groups.

The Handle with care series grants sneak peeks into processes of artistic creation, experimenting with new formats and creating spaces for talking and the exchanging of views. Artists get the chance to try out parts of their work in front of a small audience, to receive feedback and to turn spectators into accomplices.
