Alix Eynaudi’s

work is situated within the field of expanded choreography. Some of her works explore different formats of making work public, such as books and other writing, and learning platforms. Alongside developing her own work, she works as a dancer and performer with/for other artists (Anna Teresa De Keersmaeker, Jennifer Lacey, Anne Juren, Boris Charmatz, Sabina Holzer, Elizabeth Ward). Her most recent endeavours are BRUNO, Noa & Snow, and Institute of Rest(s). Approaching dance as a space of study, Alix dances, works, and writes between craft and chaos. She doesn’t work alone; any event, research, or invitation is an alibi to spend time with accomplices, a mesh of friendships scintillating under skins, a stirring of full-of-wonder support. alixeynaudi.com

Ujjwal Kanishka Utkarsh

is a PhD in Practice candidate at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. He has been working towards developing a form that emerges from the observational cinema tradition and continues that through his PhD project. In his current ongoing work, he is trying to see if and how he can look at and reflect upon political activity through this form. In the current political situation, where the space for voices of dissent is rapidly diminishing, truth is either viewed very simplistically and reality as objective or the post-modern perspective renders all truth relative and all reality socially constructed. In this context, this is also an exploration to see if such ideas of observational form could create a space that avoids the pitfalls of both these seemingly untenable theoretical extremes. Ujjwal primarily makes films while frequently dabbling into other forms like photography, sound, and theatre. He also often collaborates with performance artists and dancers. He has been and still does teaching various aspects of filmmaking and video art in several universities across India.
