For months, the media artists worked out a three-part dance evening together with the dancers, which is presented at the Ars Electronica Center: In the Deep Space 8K contemporary dance and interactive, digital art merge into a collective condensate on a visual and auditory level. The body of the dancers continues in the expressions of the media artists – and vice versa.
Matteo Cogliandro, Yu-Teng Huang, Hinako Taira, and Pedro Tayette, all four also active dancers of the 16-member company, choreograph three pieces as different as multi-layered in close cooperation with the media artists Carlotta Borcherding, Ariathney Coyne, Holunder Heiß, Lynn Mayya, Noayama, Alex Villard and Emilia Vogt.
Joachim Smetschka, head of the Time-Based and Interactive Media Arts department, who developed the concept of this cooperation project together with dance director Roma Janus: „For 90 minutes, we present a multi-layered panorama of the choreographic languages within the company, which are expanded by the vocabulary of media art.“

It was
The piece „It was“ is about the flow of one’s own individual and collective identity. The title includes a hint of change and movement. A transformation that resembles a metamorphosis. Something was, something is and begins, but both are always mutually dependent.
In exchange with the two choreographers, the media artist Alex Villard and the musician Noayama develop the image and sound layers for this piece. Very different ways of working meet and so „It was“ becomes a unique, not in every moment harmonious symbiosis of contemporary dance and visionary media and sound art.

無何有- mukayu
Mukayu means more or less „everything is nothing“, a concept of „richness in the void“ inspired by the Zen philosophy. The choreographer Hinako Taira and the media artists Carlotta Borcherding and Holunder Heiß develop an audiovisual dance performance with three dancers of the company, whose movements influence minimalist light plays and thus dynamically shape their stage space.
Empty and rich sounds complement the predominantly monochrome scenario, characterized by light and shadow and, together with the dancers, create a careful dialogue between the elements of movement, sound and space and the attempt to bring the idea of this very special concept of richness closer to the audience.

UniversEye
The choreographer Yu-Teng Huang and media artists Ariathney Coyne, Lynn Mayya and Emilia Vogt jointly develop the performance UniversEye through the fusion of digital images, sound and the movements of the dancers. Starting points are relationships, touches and interactions. The large-format projections are characterized by abstract and cinematic structures of the four elements of fire, water, earth and air, which also serve as sources of inspiration for the choreographer. Combined with abstracted live videos, they create a special closeness between the audience and dancers. UniversEye is about love and self-love, about group identity and individuality, about arriving and healing.
