AUSDRUCK-MOBIL – a research installation by MS Schrittmacher about the emigration and the escape of German “Ausdruckstanz” dancers
A bastei caravan makes it possible to experience „Ausdruck“ (expression) and „Mobilität“ (mobility) in its several meanings: The AUSDRUCK-MOBIL invites its visitors to follow autonomously the traces of more than 30 German “Ausdruckstanz” dancers.
On the outside of the caravan you can find a chart giving an overview of the artists, their work, their escape and emigration in the ‘40s. Based on six questions the results of the research show which artistic inspiration the “Ausdruckstanz” dancers brought into the „world of dance“ and which influences the retournees brought back to Germany.
The inside of the caravan offers the possibility to extend knowledge on an individual basis. The “Ausdruckstanz”-impro video is the result of the search for concise improvisation themes in “Ausdruckstanz” and transfers him through a performative examination to here and now.
A sound installation accompanies the haptic reconstruction of the escape routes throughout the caravan, information material and an animated online presentation (PREZI) is provided.
Valuable information can be printed out in the AUSDRUCK-MOBIL, can be sent by email upon request or can be provided directly on site from the research team.
There is a link to the PREZI Documentation/Presentation to our research and here is the trailer.
