Global Underscore in Vienna – Modified Jam Score

Place: Werkstätten und Kulturhaus

15h-19h

Sun and wind entering the room through the open windows.  6 people inside, prepared for the underscore journey. A group process, a group journey. An individual journey, a shared journey.  Pow-wow, we welcome each other, smile to each other. I explain the underscore structure.

So many people from South America that I know and admire.

‘everything makes love with silence’  

‘tangible absence’

 – two expressions from the poem of my beloved author  keep coming back and back to my mind. I am such a tangible creature (am I?) The silence that filled the room during both small dances was tangible, so thick and so substantial.

tangible silence

body of movement

people loved the underscore because of the strong feeling of being a part of the group
