In the wood, Sep­tem­ber 2, 2020

At the end of the alum­ni se­ries, stu­dents move from the stu­dio to the gre­at out­doors. With Ju­lia Kath­ri­ner and Ka­sia Us­tow­s­ka, they will learn about and re­flect on prac­ti­cal ap­proa­ches from ex­pe­ri­en­ti­al edu­ca­ti­on.

Oral Histo­ry, 31 Au­gust and 1 Sep­tem­ber

Ex­chan­ge and tran­sac­tion

Oral His­to­ries and re­la­ted ways of ge­ne­ra­ting know­ledge

"An in­ter­view is, to put it blunt­ly, a de­li­be­ra­te act of in­ter­fe­rence in other peop­le's lives," as Da­vid H. Mould puts it in Catching Sto­ries. We will ex­plo­re oral histo­ry me­thods and train on how to con­duct the in­ter­view pro­cess. How do you start, how do you es­tab­lish a re­la­ti­ons­hip with the in­ter­viewee, how do you lis­ten, and how do you end an in­ter­view? How do you pre­pa­re ques­ti­ons? What kind of dra­ma­tur­gy leads to a fruit­ful out­co­me? The­se ques­ti­ons are among the to­pics of a two-day work­shop with Prof Dr Kat­ja Schnei­der and MA CoDE alum­na Ka­te­lyn Skel­ley.

Work­shop "My dance is not your dance" with Jo­chen Rol­ler, 25 - 29 Au­gust 2020

The his­to­rio­gra­phy of mo­dern dance in Ger­ma­ny is do­mi­na­ted by a white, ca­pi­ta­list, he­ge­mo­nic and he­te­ro­nor­ma­ti­ve nar­ra­ti­ve, which has slow­ly star­ted to chan­ge a litt­le sin­ce the last few ye­ars. For­got­ten ar­tists are emer­ging, his­to­ri­cal cer­tain­ties are crumb­ling, al­ter­na­ti­ve nar­ra­ti­ves are being spun, ar­chi­ved fac­ts are being lin­ked anew, dance know­ledge is being ge­ne­ra­ted anew. Using the examp­le of the Vi­en­nese ex­pres­si­ve dan­cer Ger­trud Bo­den­wie­ser, we will at­tempt to ap­proach a his­to­ri­cal per­so­na­li­ty of mo­dern dance tog­e­ther in a con­tem­pora­ry way: in­di­vi­dual­ly, con­tro­ver­si­al­ly, con­tra­dic­to­ri­ly, con­fron­ta­tio­nal­ly and in amu­sed dis­sent.
