Artist & Audience Talk following 'screen play'

A traveler encounters landscapes impacted by the climate crisis to recalibrate the body as a site of entangled forces. The dance performance will be followed by an artist talk, in which the audience is invited to bring up their questions and share responses to the piece.

360° video documentations of those meetings, physical remnants and body memory become the source material for 'screen play'. During the artist & audience talk, Hannah will share background information on the development of the work, answer questions from the audience and enter into a dialogue based on responses to the piece.

About the Venue

DOCK 11 / DOCK ART

Theater as a meeting place, not as a form of representation. It all started with backyard multipurpose rooms and a factory hall. Today, DOCK 11 is an important dance stage with an attached studio complex and a guest house. It stands for one thing above all: diversity of style. The factory level of Dock 11 in Kastanienallee in Prenzlauer Berg is a rehearsals room, teaching studio and dance stage in one. The stage programme has interdisciplinary supplements such as theatre, performance, literature, music, visual art, film and club art – however the main focal point of every performance is on purely dance elements. Together with its other premises in EDEN***** in Berlin-Pankow, Dock 11 has established itself as an important part of the Berlin dance scene. The unique combination of teaching, rehearsal and stage generates an exciting change of perspectives in both the artists and pupils, as well as among the audience.

About the Performance

screen play

Between 2022 and 2023, Hannah Schillinger encounters landscapes impacted by the climate crisis in Germany, investigating the forces and resonances interweaving these places and her own body. Amongst them are the disappearing glacier „nördlicher Schneeferner“ on the Zuspitze, the burned forests of Saxon Switzerland and the coal mine „Welzow Süd“ in Brandenburg.  360° video documentations of those meetings, physical remnants and body memory become the source material for „screen play“, Hannah Schillinger’s first work after graduating from the MA Choreography at HZT Berlin. In dialogue with video, sound and light, Schillinger explores the body as a virtual screen and traveller. Navigating through co-existing micro worlds, she plays with transmitting and transmuting images and forces. Sculptural fragments, movement experiences, emotional and reflective spaces become activated, until spheres begin to blur and body and space become reconfigured.

About the Artist

Hannah Schillinger

Hannah Schillinger (she/they) is a choreographer, dancer and artist. She studied BA Modern Theatre Dance at the Amsterdam University of the Arts, danced in the dance company ICK Amsterdam and completed an MA in Choreography at HZT Berlin. During her master studies she was a scholarship holder of the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes and graduated with the work „runners“ (2022), shown at Reinbeckhallen Berlin. In June 2023, she premiered her debut solo “screen play” at Dock11 Berlin. Influenced by postmodern, European-American dance lineages and embedded in a western society imprinted by late capitalism as well as the re-rise of right wing populism, Hannah’s works deal with themes of the present such as ecology, virtuality and identity from a metamodern perspective. In her movement practice, the body is the starting point to investigate the materialities of perception, experience and space. Schillinger’s works are created collaboratively and move between dance, theater, and visual art.
