ACFNY SUPPORTED | PERFORMANCE DANS.KIAS | SASKIA HÖLBLING MONDAY JAN 30, 08:00 PM |
The Austrian Cultural Forum is pleased to support this performance by Saskia Hölbling of the Austrian DANS.KIAS dance company as part of Movement Research.
Saskia Hölbling (photo by Reinhard Werner) will perform an excerpt from her program exposition corps, which premiered in 2003 in France as part of the Rencontres chorégraphiques internationales de Seine-Saint-Denis. This solo performance analyses the subjectivity of the body itself. The starting point is memory, the body’s mental and physical power of memory: it is through the body that memories are carried, lived and exposed in space. A body exhibition is not the same as a woman’s exhibition nor is it like a subject exhibition. We turn away from the constituted in order to recover the thread of the constitution of identity.
Movement Research is a high visibility, low-tech forum with performances at the Judson Church on Monday nights throughout the fall/winter and spring seasons. Movement Research supports experiments in performance rather than finished products. Artists are selected by a rotating committee of peer artists.”

This DANS.KIAS production is co-produced by the Rencontres Chorégraphiques Internationales de Seine-Saint-Denis, and supported by the Centre Chorégraphique National de Franche-Comté à Belfort in the framework as well as by the City of Vienna, and the Austrian Cultural Forums in New York and Washington D.C.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Saskia Hölbling founded the DANS.KIAS ensemble in 1995, and has created and choreographed over 20 pieces since. In 2000 she was awarded the Prix d’Auteur du Conseil Général de Seine-Saint Denis/Bagnolet for Do your desires still burn, and in 2002 she was awarded the Austrian Dance Production Prize for other feature. Besides working on her own choreographies, Hölbling has repeatedly collaborated with other artists, including Canadian choreographer Benoît Lachambre and French video artist Laurent Goldring, French choreographer and dancer Fabrice Ramalingom. Hölbling has also created choreographies to existing music by Claudio Monteverdi, Luciano Berio, and Wolfgang Mitterer. In 2009 she directed Heiner Müller’s Die Hamletmaschine, in a production with students from Vienna’s renowned Max Reinhardt Seminar. In 2011 Hölbling appeared in parades & changes, replay in expansion by Anne Collod, a re-enactment of Anna Halprin’s Parades & Changes from 1965. Her most recent production, body in a metal structure, premiered last January in Vienna, another collaboration with Laurent Goldring.
