What is CRUSH?
CRUSH… …is the moment between two secure points when we don’t know what will take place. It is those rare instants when something completely unknown enters into consciousness, it is something completely new.
… starts from the thesis that performance is everywhere, in cultural performance and performance management, in the process of creating identity and in political activism. To experience is a matter of performing in the world, and to change perspectives.
…is a project imagined to open continuous spaces for Salzburg based active dance producing individuals and their guests to work, research, invest, invent and share expertise, tools and knowledge in relation to performance, choreographic and dance practices and theory.
…is a place where sharing and an open source like environment seems appropriate, and where each individual independently of background, expertise or age have the same right to propose, criticize, invent and play.
…would like to investigate innovative perspectives of performance through various practices and pioneering platforms of exchange, process and production.
…can also be understood as an open forum, an open space, where works and different points of view are laid out open for use in a multiplicity of ways - a field instead of a path.
…is a project that appears in various formats, but is not yet another festival.
…is created to question modes of production and presentation.
…is an opportunity for making art our every day practice and an opportunity to open artistic dialogues making it our artistic choice.
…is supporting contemporary dance artists living and working in Salzburg and wants to make wider audiences aware that there is an active arts scene existing in the city.
… wants to change behavior, which requires that we rewire our brains for progress and invention. The only way in which we can assure this change is by practicing.
…is free of charge, but gives no fees or special production conditions for the artists, due to its small budget. The works shown are not expected to be finished.
