Verena Schneider dělá stojky na rukou mezi květináči a pátrá v minulosti ✨

Holding on to everything I’ve got vychází z vlastního životního příběhu Vereny Schneider a její rodiny, zejména její ženské linie. Jak souvisí mlčení s projevy destrukce, které sledujeme ve svém okolí? Jak souvisí země a dědictví – rodinné, kulturní i intimní?

🤸‍♀️ Stojky a manipulace s objekty zde staví do centra pozornosti vnímání, dotek i představivost a obrací ekologickou otázku dovnitř člověka.

Dnes vám z Cirqueon rezidence @deconstructedhandstand přinášíme video z této inscenace.🎥

Představení vzniká v rámci rezidenčního programu Cirqueonu. Rezidenční program je realizován s finanční podporou hl. m. Prahy a Ministerstva kultury.

Inspirativní Verena Schneider předvedla Work in Progress Holding on to everything I’ve got ✨

Rakouská performerka Verena Schneider (@deconstructedhandstand), která studovala současný cirkus na školách Le Lido v Toulouse a FLIC Scuola di Circo, choreografii na CodArts Rotterdam a Fontys v Tilburgu a vystudovala také biologii, se pohybuje na pomezí nového cirkusu, tance a performance. Introspektivní cirkusové představení Holding on to everything I’ve got je pro Verenu Schneider velmi osobní. 🫶

Příprava autobiografického díla začala zkoumáním historie své rodiny ve snaze přijít na to, jak vztahy a jejich změny v průběhu ženské rodové linie ovlivňují naše vnitřní i vnější prostředí. Verena v Cirqueon LABu rozesela stovky květináčů s hlínou jako symbol ekologické otázky otočené dovnitř člověka a prostřednictvím stojek na rukou a za doprovodu živé hudby hledala souvislosti mezi pamětí, vyčerpáním a proměnou. 🪴🤸🏻🪴

Throwback to our «impressions’25» 💖

In our yearly Workshop Opening Lecture, our teaching artists give us a taste of what will happen over the following four weeks: workshops, research, inspiration and shared movement. Here, Verena Schneider (@deconstructedhandstand) posed the playful question — how many people can fit in a square? It was definitely a bunch of lovely ones!

We are already super excited to see what the teaching artists will share with us at «impressions’26» ✨

Join us at ImPulsTanz!

Together with Arne Mannott @arnemannott , I will be leading a two-day workshop at the intersection of contemporary circus, dance and performance.

Inspired by the idea that circus is a negotiation with limits, we will explore resistance, balance, object manipulation, acrobatic practices and choreographic research as sites of encounter with uncertainty, risk and imagination.

Drawing on contemporary circus dramaturgies, we will investigate how circus can expand performative material—not through mastery, but through persistence, vulnerability and the ongoing act of trying.

The workshop is conceived as a shared space for experimentation, reflection and embodied research, where different disciplines meet, challenge one another and open up new possibilities.

1–2 August 2026
15:00–20:00
Arsenal F, Vienna

For dancers, circus artists, performers and curious movers.

Come as you are.
Bring your practice, your questions and your curiosity.

We would love to meet you there.

Zwischenkörper
ᴇɪɴᴇ ᴘᴏᴇᴛɪꜱᴄʜᴇ ꜱᴘᴜʀᴇɴꜱᴜᴄʜᴇ ᴢᴡɪꜱᴄʜᴇɴ ᴋöʀᴘᴇʀ, ᴡᴏʟʟᴇ ᴜɴᴅ ᴠᴇʀᴡᴜʀᴢᴇʟᴜɴɢ.

📍 Museum Tiroler Bauernhöfe, Kramsach

🧶 Zwischen Holzbalken, Wollfäden und schwebenden Körpern entsteht ein Ort, an dem Vergangenheit und Gegenwart einander begegnen.
OFFTANZ Tirol verwandelt im Juli das Museum Tiroler Bauernhöfe in Kramsach in einen begehbaren Performance-Parcours zwischen zeitgenössischem Tanz, Zirkus, Trapez, Installation und Live-Musik.

Ausgangspunkt der ortsspezifischen Arbeit “Zwischenkörper” von Verena Schneider ist die Frage: Wie schreiben sich Herkunft, Erinnerung und gesellschaftliche Vorstellungen in unsere Körper ein? Und was passiert, wenn wir beginnen, diese Verbindungen neu zu denken?

Wolle und Holz werden zu Mitspieler*innen. Körper balancieren zwischen historischen Strukturen, verspinnen Fäden, hängen und schweben am Trapez. Stimme, Atem, regionale Liedfragmente und Field Recordings verweben sich zu einer atmosphärischen Klanglandschaft.
Das Museum wird dabei nicht zur Kulisse, sondern zum Gegenüber: Seine Gebäude, Materialien und Geschichten treten in Dialog mit Bewegung, Musik und Installation.

🗓 Premiere
Sa, 11. Juli 2026 · 17:00 Uhr

This summer, together with Arne Mannott, I will be teaching a workshop at ImPulsTanz Festival Vienna at the intersection of contemporary circus, dance and performance.

Inspired by Bauke Lievens’ notion of “tragic virtuosity”, we approach the body not as a site of perfection, but as a place of negotiation, resistance, risk and uncertainty.

Through movement research, improvisation, object relations, choreographic scores and physical practice, we will explore circus and dance as states of becoming rather than disciplines to master.

For dancers, circus artists, performers and anyone curious about expanding their practice through dialogue with another field.

We are looking forward to sharing this space with you.
