Asphaltworlds Part One (September 2020) Project 2020 / 21 Project 2020 / 21 „asphaltworlds“ In 2020/21 the go plastic company does an artistic research about the subject of homelessness. The project „asphaltworlds" deals in three different formats thematic aspects, thesis and values, and also the societal perception of the life on the streets, its challenges, deprivations and demands. In various artistic constellations the company collaborates in those three parts with different partners and drafts interdisciplinary performance formats in and for the public space, to look at the subject from different angles. The trilogy about a life without a roof over ones head shall challenge and open up, should be experienced and will last. The go plastic company, based in Dresden (Germany) works as a free collective on diverse performance projects with the focus on dance and movement for performance spaces and in this project, as a first, in and for the public space in this size. The artistic constellations vary for conceptual reasons and allow us to conquer new areas. asphaltworlds part one (September 2020) The trilogy kick-off is the cooperation with the Societaetstheater Dresden. In this first part a performative trio with installative character is going to research and develop artistic material based on social conventions, street codes and body arrangements. Developed and performed by the artists: Caroline Beach, Cindy Hammer and Joseph Hernandez, with live-sounds composed by Johannes Till and with visual materials by the artist Enrico Sutter. Artistic Directed by Susan Schubert and supported by project consultant Frauke Wetzel. A production by go plastic in co-production with the Societaetstheater Dresden. Funded by the Office for Culture and Monument Protection Dresden and the Cultural Foundation of the Free State of Saxony, this measure is co-financed by tax funds on the basis of the budget decided by the members of the Saxon State Parliament. With the kind support of TENZA Dresden, TanzNetzDresden, Bahnhofsmission Dresden and Die Tafel e.V. asphaltworlds part 2 In October 2020 we will go on a walking research trip for the second part of the series. In the cities of Dresden, Budapest, Prague, Bratislava, Vienna and Brno, artistic materials are designed, tested and shared in the form of short stays. In places such as parks, train stations, bridges and in passages, the ever-growing group of artists tests and researches various performance formats and their impacts and effects. During the 4 weeks, the team will be walking, venturing physical and choreographic interventions in public space, documenting them and creating a catalog of experiences. The second part thematically deals with life outside: which environment do you look for and create yourself? Nomadism as a (surviving) draft of life: opening up and occupying new, semi-finished, broken, ruined, free, preserved spaces. Always on the go, always looking for the "right" shelter, always temporary. Performing Artists: Caroline Beach, Cindy Hammer, Joseph Hernandez, Jared Marks, Christian Novopavlovski, Susan Schubert, Rika Yotsumoto Visual Artist: Alexandra Börner Film / Artistic Documentation: Benjamin Schindler Support / Consulting: Frauke Wetzel A production of the go plastic company. Funded and supported by TANZPAKT Dresden, Trafo Budapest, KULT Festival Usti n.l. Cultural Foundation of the Free State of Saxony. This measure is co-financed by tax funds on the basis of the budget decided by the members of the Saxon State Parliament. With the kind support of TENZA Dresden. A large part of the second part of “Asphaltwelten” will make up the TANZPAKT residence for which we have been selected: "... TANZPAKT Dresden pursues the goal of fundamentally strengthening the local and regional free dance scene. Together with HELLERAU, a comprehensive residence and production program with partner institutions from all areas of social life is launched. Equipped with funds for artistic research as well as for production, the following high-quality productions of Saxony's free scene are developed for presentation in HELLERAU, in particular larger formats beyond the workshop presentation. A scientific and artistic laboratory with regional dance professionals and guests from business, research and society is the prelude to this. The resulting stage productions will then be presented in a festival and, on the other hand, a comprehensive residence and production program with partner institutions from all areas of social life will be launched together with HELLERAU.

" Further information here: https://www.hellerau.org/de/series/tanzpakt-dresden/ asphaltworlds part 3 The third part will be realized in co-production with HELLERAU - European Center for the Arts in summer 2021. An outdoor group performance on the forecourt of the Festspielhaus works on the artistic thesis of a utopia: a group that renounces stability and security: a life without walls, without insurance, without roots. A movement. A guru. And the following is growing. The goal: to release and share a collective energy. Being at home in the body, not in buildings. Regardless of origin, orientation and opinion. A throwing together of diverse and extreme biographies on "neutral" but public ground, in the shadow of society. Another project output is planned for the TANZPAKT festival in autumn 2021: a performative exhibition with the material from the research trip and the designed catalogue of experiences. We want to create different essays about the artistic thesis combined with the documented material such as sketches, photos, film, text, fragments, symbols and codes. Artistic Directors: Cindy Hammer & Susan Schubert By and with: Caroline Beach, Frederic Coupet, Joseph Hernandez, Jared Marks, Christian Novopavlovski, Stephan Quinci, Esther Rose, Rika Yotsumoto, others to be announced Visual Arts: Alexandra Börner & Enrico Sutter Music / Live DJ: Nene H Film / Visuals / Artistic Documentation: Benjamin Schindler Support / Consulting: Frauke Wetzel Excerpt from the preview article in the DROBS (local street magazine Dresden) issue 2/2020 by Jane Jannke "The physicality of the outcast" … .Discovering the physicality of the street and artistically reproducing it - that's what the Dresden performance artists have commissioned the go plastic company to do… The question of where homelessness actually takes place is a very central one in “Asphalt Worlds”. In Dresden, but also in Vienna, Bratislava, Prague and Budapest, Cindy Hammer and her colleagues want to go inside exactly where a quiet, often barely perceptible struggle for survival takes place every day ... With the experiences, encounters and images of this journey through the asphalt worlds- with Europe in the luggage, the artists finally want to return in the summer of 2021 ... Art would not be art if it did not occasionally become a little political and also a little moral. “We want to sharpen our audience's perception of the needs and problems of these people and thus counteract the ubiquitous devaluation of the homeless. Many resentments towards beggars and homeless people are based on ignorance and fear of contact, which should be reduced ... Once on the street, the horizons quickly shift. “Social conventions and control systems take a back seat, the body switches to survival mode. At the same time, the exciting question arises of how we as a society deal with violations of the rules and how we can create new control systems. “In order to make the experience as authentic as possible for the audience, the artists deliberately chose the street as a stage.

  • IKONEN DER MODERNE Sachsen Mit Seiner 1000-Jähirgen
    SACHSEN – IKONEN DER MODERNE Sachsen mit seiner 1000-jähirgen Kulturgeschichte hat wie kaum ein anderes Bundesland das gesamte Architekturspektrum zu bieten – von Gotik bis modern-minimalistisch. Neben der Kunst und der Musik prägt dieser architektonische Facettenreichtum Sachsen als Kulturreiseziel Nummer 1 in Deutschland. In Sachsen wurden viele für das Bauhaus prägende Denkansätze vorweggenommen, und hier wirkten bekannte Architekten des neuen Bauens. So wurde in Dresden bereits ab 1909 mit den Deutschen Werkstätten für Handwerkskunst, als Mitgründer des Werkbundes, an einer Produktionsstätte neuen Typus gebaut – und gleichzeitig an der ersten Gartenstadt Deutschlands, Hellerau. Die Bauhaus-Epoche hat in Sachsen interessante und touristisch relevante Zeugnisse hervorgebracht. Das Josef Albers’ Glasfenster im Leipziger Grassimuseum, das Wandgemälde von Oskar Schlemmer im Zwenkauer Haus Rabe, die Versöhnungskirche in Leipzig, das Kaufhaus Schocken in Chemnitz von Erich Mendelsohn – heute Staatliches Museum für Archäologie - stehen dafür. Das Haus Schminke von Hans Scharoun in Löbau ist eines der weltweit vier herausragenden Beispiele der Stilrichtungen "Neues Bauen" und "International Style". Es fehlt in keinem Architektur-Lexikon und wird in einem Zug genannt mit dem Haus Tugendhat von Mies van der Rohe in Brünn/Brno (1931), der Villa Savoye von Le Corbusier in Poissy bei Paris (1928-29) und dem Haus Kaufmann " Fallingwater " in Mill Run, Pennsylvania (1935-39) von Frank Lloyd Wright genannt. Es steht im Übrigen nicht nur für Besichtigungen offen, sondern man darin auch übernachten. Zusammen mit dem Nieskyer Wachsmann-Haus ist es eine wichtige Station im Verbund TOPOMOMO (Topography of the modern Movement) – einem internationalen Verbund von herausragenden (Wohn)Gebäuden der Moderne. Zum „Jubiläum 100 Jahre Bauhaus“ wird das Bundesland mit vielfältigen Veranstaltungen und Ausstellungen vor allem das baukulturelle Erbe würdigen und an bestehende Präsentationen und kulturelle Schwerpunktthemen, etwa das Thema Industriekultur, anknüpfen.
