BODY TALKS
What does it mean to “understand” art? How does one “connect” with artworks? And is it possible to make such a connection in ways other than through words? As part of the experimental mediation series Body Talks, you have the opportunity to experience art not only with your mind, but with your whole body.
We have launched Body Talks in 2023 at Kunstraum Niederoesterreich and developed it in close collaboration with dancer and art mediator Daliah Touré. Its aim is to explore new ways of “understanding art” through various body-based techniques – dance, movement, breathing and voice exercises, and more. Each workshop is specifically tailored to the content of the current Kunstraum exhibitions.
By now, in addition to Touré, dance, voice, and performance artist Veza Fernández and choreographer and performer Lau Lukkarila offer workshops as part of Body Talks. Participation is free of charge and requires no prior experience.
Body Talks takes place in form of both public and closed workshops (with e.g. school classes and social organizations).
The next public Body Talks workshop is scheduled for autumn 2026. We will announce the exact date in due course on our website, via newsletter, and on our social media channels.
