Listening as tracing moments of change – moments of otherness, of strangeness.
Listening as reaching out to the intangible.
Listening as politics of self-organisation within a group process.
Listening as an active process of witnessing – of touching and being in touch with.

Hearing. Listening. CONVEYING – gestures and thoughts, documents and trails, documentary and fictional. COMMUNICATION – waves, notes, bodies, media. Opening up to the unarticulated. Resonance. Encounters between listening and movement, between passivity and infection. Laying tracks, forgetting, rediscovering and sharing. Challenges to the precise dealing with one’s own material – on the border of the immaterial.
In the one-week artistic-theoretical research lab at the Tanzquartier Wien, the participants open up their individual practice and confront it with the joint "work on listening" and the resulting spatial and temporal processes.

Concept: Sabina Holzer (performer, choreographer, author, A) with: Lucia Glass (choreographer, D), Jack Hauser (author, fine artist film maker, A), Benoit Lachambre (choreographer, performer, CAN), Sandra Noeth (Tanzquartier Wien dramaturge, A) Torsten Michaelsen (media theorist and radio artist, D), Jeroen Peeters (author, dramaturge, performer, B), Martin Siewert (musician, composer, A)

On Sat. 13 March from 13.00 to 17.00 in the TQW Studios the participating artists and theoreticians are organising a presentation for the exchange of materials, thoughts and findings from the artistic research process (admission free).

In connection with this research, on Thur. 11 March at 19.00 there will also be a public work-inprogress presentation of the performance It is not a Picture by Sabina Holzer, Jack Hauser and Martin Siewert in the TQW / Studios (admission free).
