About the Exhibition Everybody Dances. the Cosmos of Viennese Everybody Dances. The Cosmos of Viennese Dance Modernism 21 March 2019 – 10 February 2020 Lobkowitzplatz 2, 1010 Wien [email protected] T +43 1 525 24 5315 About the Exhibition During the first third of the 20th century Vienna ranked amongst the most important international centres of Modern Dance. The exhibition, organised in cooperation with the Musik und Kunst Privatuniversität der Stadt Wien (MUK), attempts to inscribe significant female dancers into Vienna’s great historical narrative. It focuses on dancers, choreographers and teachers such as Isadora Duncan, Grete Wiesenthal, Gertrud Bodenwieser and Rosalia Chladek as well as Valeria Kratina, Gertrud Kraus, Hilde Holger and others who were the pioneers for the European Modernism. The show illustrates the variety and concentration of a female-dominated dance scene which was destroyed by Nazi dictatorship and further developed in exile. Threads are spun between the productive and socio-critical spirit of that time and today through enduring movement techniques of Modernism and related topics. Hence, the exhibition, curated by Andrea Amort and designed by Thomas Hamann, concludes with film contributions by Amanda Piña, Doris Uhlich, Thomas Kampe and Simon Wachsmuth. The starting point for the exhibition was the donation of the extensive legacy of texts by the dancer, choreographer and pedagogue Rosalia Chladek (Brno 1905–1995 Vienna) to the newly established dance archive at the Musik und Kunst Privatuniversität der Stadt Wien (MUK) in 2015. The Internationale Gesellschaft Rosalia Chladek (IGRC) entrusted the task of making it accessible to Andrea Amort. The Theatermuseum will take over this valuable material comprising more than a hundred boxes after this has been achieved. Nonetheless both the curator and the director of the museum, when planning the exhibition, decided against a solo exhibition as both life and work of this personality who for over 70 years, from 1925 until her death, helped shape dance in Vienna, are well known. Rather the aim here is to construct and illustrate the emergence of modern dance in Vienna since 1900, and the dance scene up to 1938 which was extraordinarily crowded and dominated by women. Within it Rosalia Chladek’s work lights up again and again. The fact that Austrofascism and the NS regime exploited democratic, free spirited and “subversive” (Alfred Schlee, 1930) modern dance is the topic of not yet completed research, both historic and dance related, into this period. Due to the forced migration and murder of the majority of its protagonists the NS regime between 1938 and 1945 largely destroyed Viennese Dance Modernism. “Not everybody could leave the country”, Rosalia Chladek, in 1990, expressed her attitude at the time. Like Grete Wiesenthal, who had also remained in Vienna, she helped Jewish colleagues escape. Hanna Berger from Vienna was active in the resistance. Many of the refugees became key figures in the newly emerging Dance Modernism of their new “homeland”, among them Gertrud Bodenwieser, Hilde Holger, Gertrud Kraus. Everybody Dances. The Cosmos of Viennese Dance Modernism 21 March 2019 – 10 February 2020 Lobkowitzplatz 2, 1010 Wien [email protected] T +43 1 525 24 5315 About the Exhibition - continued The exhibition has three parts: The entrance hall is dedicated to Rosalia Chladek. The DOKU-Space presents historic material: text, photography, film. The ART-space offers a more recent and contemporary view of the subject. Here the space is opened for performative programmes and also offers the visitor instructions for movement. The exhibition therefore attempts to build a bridge into the present. Teaching methods and dance techniques as well as some works have survived in Central Europe and the countries of exile and become accessible to all. Descendants of the protagonists and researchers as well as contemporary artists, feeling related to the traditions or the themes, will have their say in interviews or with their own artistic creations. Rosalia Chladek Reenacted is a series of performances especially created for the exhibition, presented by female dancers of Vienna‘s independent scene in the Eroica-Hall at the Theatermuseum. Point of departure are historic solo-pieces passed on from Chladek‘s œuvre. Bits and Pieces are short dance works and lectures, created by artists of the Vienna Scene and students of the Musik und Kunst Privatuniversität der Stadt Wien (MUK) as part of the exhibition on special afternoons. Guided tours with experts and an educational programme for schools complement the project. The comprehensive and richly illustrated publication Alles tanzt. Kosmos Wiener Tanzmoderne (ed. Andrea Amort, published by Hatzje Cantz, Berlin) accompanies the exhibition. From the point of view of dance historians, artists and experts from adjacent artistic fields it broadens Austria‘s cultural memory by this mainly female-dominated Dance Modernism until 1938 and its influence to date. The publication is the first extensive presentation of Vienna Dance Modernism together with a network-lexicon. The list of authors includes Thomas Aichhorn, Gaby Aldor, Arno Böhler, Carol Brown, Gerhard Brunner, Brigitte Dalinger, Paul M. Delavos, Monika Faber, Inge Gappmaier, Deborah Holmes, Thomas Kampe, Elke Krasny, Johanna Laakkonen, Barbara Lesák, Alfred Oberzaucher, Gunhild Oberzaucher-Schüller, Amanda Piña, Stefan Schmidl, Vera-Viktoria Szirmay, Doris Uhlich, Edwin Vanecek, Patrick Werkner and Andrea Amort.

Diese unsichtbaren Gegner haben es unmöglich gemacht, in Theatern, Kinos, Konzerthäusern, Galerien und Museen zusammenzukommen, um das zu tun, was wir alle lieben: gemeinsam Kunst zu erleben und zu genießen. Unser wichtigstes Ziel war es daher, alles zu unternehmen, damit wir am Ende der Pan- demie dort fortsetzen können, wo wir plötzlich und unerwartet aus unserem kulturellen Leben gerissen wurden: All jene, die in unserem Land Kunst machen, die sich dazu entschlossen haben, ihr Leben und ihre ganze Kraft dem künstlerischen Schaffen zu widmen, sollten bestmöglich durch diese schwierigen Zeiten kommen.

  • Kunst- Und Kulturbericht 2019
    Kunst Kultur Bericht Kunst- und Kulturbericht 2019 Kunst- und Kulturbericht 2019 Wien 2020 Liebe Leserinnen und Leser, im März 2020 wurde alles anders. Denn die österreichische Bundesregierung und das österreichische Parlament waren angesichts der weltweiten Covid-19-Pandemie zu gesundheitspolitischen Maßnahmen gezwungen. Diese führten zu drastischen Änderun- gen in unserem privaten Alltag, aber auch in unserem beruflichen, wirtschaftlichen und kulturellen Leben. Wer in diesen Tagen unterwegs war, in der Stadt oder am Land, war die meiste Zeit allein und traf kaum auf andere Menschen. Nicht nur Schulen, Universitäten, Geschäfte, Restaurants und Cafés konnten nicht öffnen, auch Konzerthäuser, Theater, Kabaretts, Kinos, Museen, Galerien und Literaturhäuser mussten geschlossen bleiben. Das öffentliche und gesellschaftliche Leben – und damit die Grundvoraussetzung für Kunst und Kultur – stand still. Da konnten auch all die wunderbaren Projekte und Auftritte im Internet nicht darüber hinwegtäuschen, dass Kunst und Kultur Gemeinschaft und persön- liche Begegnung benötigen. Das Theater, aber auch Bücher, Filme, Musikstücke, Bilder und digitale Kunstformen sind auf ein Publikum angewiesen, das zusammenkommt, das sieht und hört, staunt und begreift, begeistert zustimmt, kritisch kommentiert oder sich glänzend zu unterhalten weiß. Wäre es anders, könnten wir uns Buchmessen, Lesungen, Kinos, Galerien, Museen, Konzerte, Filmfestivals und Festivals für digitale Kunst sparen und zu Hause vor unseren Bildschirmen sitzen bleiben. Und auch wenn zahlreiche Musikerinnen und Musiker in diesen Wochen des März und April 2020 ihren Balkon zur Bühne gemacht und für Passantinnen und Passanten auf der Straße gespielt haben, so dürfen wir niemals vergessen, dass Künstlerinnen und Künstler nicht nur Applaus verdienen, sondern vielmehr ein Recht darauf haben, für ihre Leistungen bezahlt zu werden.

  • Migration and Memory: the Dances of Gertrud Bodenwieser
    Migration and Memory: The Dances of Gertrud Bodenwieser by Carol brown I’m speaking to you. Ready the space, make it possible, make it real. Mark/sign/imprint/trace/seal. Step together, stop, wind, unwind, step turn schlinger, breathe. And speak to me in this silence.1 In the reaches of my memory a figure is held in language and gesture. She is re-membered in certain movements and habits of style. She is distant and close, inside and outside, part omnipotent presence and part invisible trace; a “dancemother” whose image was interiorized through the process of learning how to dance. Composed of fragments of memory, mythology, and history, her story is less biography than biomythography, for I never knew her, yet I know her still. My earliest knowledge of dance as an art form was inscribed through a series of “quotes” from the past, for it was the Viennese Ausdruckstanz choreographer Gertrud Bodenwieser (1890-1959) whose words and ideas animated my dancing. I came to know Bodenwieser through the teachings of her former dancer Shona Dunlop-MacTavish, with whom I trained in New Zealand from 1972-85. When I moved to the UK in the late 1980s, curiosity and a hunger for the familiar led me to meet with other former Bodenwieser dancers now residing there: Hilde Holger, the late Bettina Vernon, Evelyn Ippen, and Hilary Napier. All of these women, including Dunlop-MacTavish, received their primary dance training with Bodenwieser, danced in the Tanzgruppe Bodenwieser in Vienna (1923-38), and, with the exception of Hilde Holger, danced in Australia with the Bodenwieser Viennese Ballet (1939-58).2 Significantly, they also all developed independent careers as dancer-choreographers and teachers in various parts of the world, including Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, China, India, and England.3 I have listened to their stories, studied their personal archival collections of photographs, programmes, and writings, and learned some of their dances.
