“Breathing is not just breathing…” says artist Maren Strack, and presents a performance of electronically amplified breathing sound waves in different variations and modulations. A bandoneon costume winds around her body as an inner breathing column, extending the air sounds into the tonal range, move by move. The choreography increases to a fast beat for a danced staccato solo. It ends abruptly, frozen in a shock-frozen gesture; until new waves of breath restart the process.
There is always something violent in Maren Strack’s work; it pushes the limits of physical strain and plays with expectations regarding the female body.
Maren Strack received the author award of Junge Theater Bremen as well as an award for the best German dance solo. She was a fellow at Künstlerinnenhof ‘Die Höge’, Bassum (2000), at Akademie Schloss Solitude, Stuttgart (2001), and Künstlerhaus Lukas, Ahrenshoop (2005). From 2008 to 2013, she was a visiting professor and course director of the Spatial Strategies course at Kunsthochschule Berlin Weißensee. Since 2009, she has had a teaching assignment at UDK, Berlin.
