Recent Productions


D.ID supports emerging Austrian-based artists to create

their work at the Choreographic Centre Burgenland..

Bitmap


Lea Karnutschs work Bitmap was created in close collaboration with Liz King. Lea recontextualizes abstracted video projections of one of King's landmark works from the 1980s with the vocabulary of a dancer who was not yet in the world at the time.


Time and the progression of movement through time seem involuntary, but in theory one can stop at a point in space and remain there for a while. Can we find an interface between the mysterious figures from the shadows of early 20th century Vienna and the society we know today? We cannot define the reality of the past, but we can choose to re-characterize the images.

Air

In the world of modernity air has become the most taken-for-granted of phenomena. Although we imbibe it continually, we commonly fail to notice that there is anything there. We refer to the unseen depth between things as mere empty space. Although we are wholly dependent upon its nourishment for all our actions, the immersing medium has no mystery for us, no conscious influence or meaning.


Air was created within the framework of our emerging Artists support programme.

Poly-Mirrors

In PoLy-Mirrors, the performers analyse jazz and femininity on stage through music and dance. They share uneven grooves, deciphering (poly)rhythmic cycles of the bodies.

Dance x Change

The measures taken by European countries in response to the spread of Covid-19 have a large impact on performing arts. Creation, public performance and transnational exchange are currently not possible in their known forms.


Dance x Change reacts to this reality by establishing new formats of communication, collaboration and dissemination of Contemporary Dance on seemingly barren grounds.

The project focusses on the possibility of unlocking previously unnoticed potential within the Dance sector.


Following key elements of Dance such as flexibility and living in the present moment, Dance organisations from different European countries join forces to offer a functional platform for creators across Europe.

Imaginary Quantities

In their search for clear structures that can exist and still leave room for their own constructions, their own actions and their own creation, the two dancers Hannah Wimmer and Katharina Illnar draw on mathematical concepts. In doing so, they deal with the number set of quaternions, approach the real and the imagination and expand complex spaces in order to ultimately abstract them in dance.


Imaginary Quantities was supported through a residency at the Choreographic Centre Burgenland.

What we hold inside

I have a body but who is it that speaks? Faced with an ever evolving and exponentially rising digital environment, faced with the question of how we will face artificial intelligence, this performance challenges in a personal and poetic way the connection of body and mind, of consciousness and movement. Who is this dancing self and what does it say? Which cultural imprints do we unravel on the way?
