Kultursommer Wien - Potpourri Dance Company: Friend.shift

#HouseDance #Freundschaft 

Farah Deen and Olivia Mitterhuemer are linked by a long-term, intensive friendship, which has been and is strengthened in particular through many shared experiences in dance. For many years, the two Austrian women have combined their physical and mental connection with their passion for house dance. Above all, the house step “Chase”, also known as “Hurdle”, inspired them both in terms of movement and in the literal sense for their common work which is based on consonance, harmony and blind understanding.

In their piece "Friend.shift" they embark on a journey through diverse (life) positions and numerous movement patterns. In doing so, they keep on finding new perspectives and expressions.
