Audience area

• At the beginning of the performance, there are less chairs, which are mainly placed at the edges of the room.
• The audience is offered different seats during the performance. The performers will rearrange the chairs and add and remove them from the audience, so that they can make more space for the dance.
• The chairs in front of the walls will most likely not be moved by the performers.
• Part of the audience will sit or stand in front of the walls (on chairs or on the floor).
• Part of the audience may voluntarily choose to sit within the performance area and very close to the performers while they dance and move.
• The performance sometimes addresses themes such as seduction, sensuality and sexuality. In one part of the performance, there may be slow-motion physical contact with the audience. The performers can lean on individual people or place a little body weight on people (e.g. place their head on a person’s foot or lap or gently rest their hips on the side of a person’s shoulder).

Ewa Dziarnowska (PL) is a dancer and choreographer based in Berlin and working internationally. Her latest projects, https://4677684728466.com and Untitled.Solo, engage with the ideologies of improvisatory processes and embodied knowledge in countering the prevailing need for rationality, linearity and sense-making. She is interested in a poetic dimension of dance, its inherent sensuality as well as the pleasure and pain it brings along. Feral, rough and raw, but not devoid of precision and expertise in relation to movement technique(s), her practice challenges ways in which dance circulates within the context of bourgeois theatrical conventions and product-oriented entertainment industry. Ewa is a graduate of SEAD, Salzburg and HZT Berlin and a 2015 DanceWEB scholarship recipient. As a performer, most recently she has worked with Alex Baczyński-Jenkins, Michele Rizzo and Enad Marouf.
