gestures in space2025
With the performance gestures in space, the artist Daniela Georgieva from Düsseldorf explores the historic Montgelas Hall in the Bayerischer Hof physically and through dance. She chains gesture after gesture together to turn them into sculptural movements and bodies. Her main focus is on one part of the body at a time and its exploration in the context of body, movement and space. She designs, structures or discards movement and body patterns and radically reconceptualizes them.
Her artistic signature as a choreographer is particularly characterized by the fusion of contemporary dance, visual art and electronic music. An important reference is the practice of the Judson Dance Theatre, an association of artists from various genres founded in New York in the 1960s: Everyday movements and gestures, structures of play, simple tasks and social interventions were integrated into the performances, thus revolutionizing dance.
In close collaboration with artists from the fields of stage design, costume and music, Georgieva creates dense choreographies as interdisciplinary overall compositions and multi-sensory works for a diverse audience – in the museum’s white cube, in the theatre’s black box, in public spaces or in a festival setting such as this year’s edition of Various Others.
