Christina Ciupke and Darko Dragičević currently work on the Project Declaring Space (wt) spreading over the year 2020 resulting with it’s premiere on October 22nd in Tanzfabrik Berlin. Throughout this year the collaborators are planning to have 6 Moments of Sharing open for public prior to its premiere.

In the end of the residency at Notafe the two artists will use this opportunity to present Moment of Sharing #4 and share it with the local audience.

From the perspective of our respective artistic working methods, we are dealing with the interrelation between nature and man-made constructs. The focus is on resulting disruptions, displacements, weak points and cracks. In addition to a continuous research of movement, we explore and collect different manifestations of objects - natural and man-made, static and in transition. Concrete objects collected during the project and the physical presence of two bodies as choreographic objects will be brought into dialogue with each other.
