An exchange between Johanna and Doris. Johanna Henritius, originally from Finland, is currently studying dance in Salzburg at SEAD. Doris Stelzer, choreographer and biotechnologist, is a ttp WUK member and lives in Vienna. Doris is captivated by the questions how and why movement is perceived either as typical female or male? Johanna invites Doris to pass a solo on to her. During the process thoughts about authorship, identity of the performer, the choreographer, the movement material and its embodiment will arise. They'll work on their exchange at WUK for one week and open up the process within the frame of the festival as a performative intervention in the photogallery Wien. At the end of April the final performance of the project will take place at SEAD.
