Participation
Demedarts participated in 2 main ways:
The Workshop "DEMEDARTS - Moving Stories and Shapes"
by Ruth Mateus-Berr, Pia Scharler, Lisa Kielmeier & Alexandra Andrea Rusz, University of Applied Arts Vienna, Austria
By the year 2050 there will be close to 149.2 million elderly people living in the EU. Elderly people tend to opt against using rollators, feeling the objects lack an appealing design, one that does not address them, as well as feelings of being discriminated against. However, there are also comforting stories shared by those affected. The aim of this workshop is to identify intergenerational, individual, and culturally different needs while co-create stories and finding solutions together for an ageing society.
The Performance GRIESSNER STADL – turning the world up-side-down
by Ruth Mateus-Berr & Sophia Widmann, University of Applied Arts Vienna, Alexandra Leitgeb, Anita Winkler, Marina Trippl, Nici Daros, Tamara Hotter, Andreas Oberweger, Daniel Wiedemaier, Ferdinand Nagele, Gerhard Url, Gert Engelbrecht, Manfred Daros & Philipp Rirsch, GRIESSNER STADL Austria
The inclusive theater/performance group GRIESSNER STADL with Lebenshilfe Murau and the University of Applied Arts Vienna invite you to a dance ritual. A game with liminality and the crossing of boundaries. A game with voyeurism and conscious exposure. How do we change perception through shared experience? What are the implications for our artistic practice and art education? The focus of our work is the process-based creation, which in each instance is unique. A cross-disciplinary social interaction creates an artistic statement characterized by collaboration on equal terms: We learn from each other in the sense of co-ability understanding. Reflecting on what we have experienced together is part of this game. We invite you to a variation of our inclusive dance ritual, first performed at the European Cultural Center at the Venice Biennale 2022.
