Besuch by Besuch Team

Five years after completing their dance education together, Besuch team is exploring a diverse range of performative and compositional approaches. With “Besuch” they are experimenting with possible ways of coming together and engaging with each other artistically.

The transmedial approach, the misspelling of the dancing tradition, the flirtation with idiocy, the sensuality of the corporeal experience and the “imaginative dance”, act as five original calling cards which mark the starting points of their first work together as a team.

A shared digital document of instructions filled with colorful ideograms, a microscopic plan made large-scale, a DIGI-persona, a painting of sensorial stimuli and a contract via post are the jointly common score to which the team commits. They exchange these five materials and promise to pay each other’s proposal a visit by means of a one-minute performance. Finally, they co-edit the 25 variations and thus compose “Besuch”. In turn, they are now inviting audiences to visit both the traces of their encounters as well as their collective artistic imprint.
