Judith Egger

Following her studies in Germany and Great Britain she worked on numerous installations and performances at home and abroad (including Great Britain, USA, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Mexico and China). The central theme of many of Judith Egger's art works are the processes of growing, becoming and eventually transformation.



In her creations, Egger intertwines different forms of expression such as installation, music, performance and drawing, constantly inventing new combinations. Since 2004 she has been head of the parasital „Institute for Hybristics and the Empirical Sciences of Swelling Bodies“ whose mission is to research into the essence of the "swelling force": the all empowering force of life. 2007 she was artistic director of the EU-project „open here“ which had been initiated by the Kulturreferat of the city of Munich. Essential part of this project about art and migration has been a truck which served as performance vehicle and connected the partner cities Vienna, Prag, Liverpool, Arles and Marseilles – in collaboration with local artists and organisations.Judith Egger,www.open-here.eu,

Ruth Geiersberger

born 1957, performer, actress and speaker.
She finished in Paris, Munich and Berlin her formation in body work (Feldenkrais), singing and acting, before realizing her own projects.
For her performances, called by herself „Verrichtungen“, she explores as a "field researcher" for example the urban space.
On the research for "home" she looks for unusual locations which are in a sort of waiting situation: at the station, on building sites, in a bunker, in churches, in empty shops or in the zoo...
Therefore she picks out the construction of idyllic places as well as their deconstruction by loss, crash or dis-camouflage.




www.verrichtungen.de
Since1990 instruction and workshops in bodywork (Feldenkrais), voice and performance, among others at the Academie of Art /Munich, the theatre departmant of the university in Munich, theatre & school, Education-projects with the Berliner Philharmoniker and club of pedagogues at the Theater an der Parkaue/Berlin

Helen Varley Jamieson

Helen Varley Jamieson Helen Varley Jamieson is a writer, theatre practitioner and digital artist. She is currently undertaking a Master of Arts (research) at Queensland University of Technology, investigating her practice of cyberformance.
A theatre practitioner since childhood, Helen has written, directed and produced many stage plays. During the mid-1990s she began to work professionally in the internet industry and this led to her exploration of live online performance.
Helen coined the term "cyberformance" in 2000 to describe this form of networked performance that approaches the internet as a site for collaborative performance by remote performers.
In 2001, she initiated "the[abc]experiment" - a research project that explored the interface of theatre and the internet and culminated in a live performance involving performers in New Zealand, the USA, UK and Europe. This project spawned the globally-dispersed cyberformance troupe Avatar Body Collision, of which Helen is a founding member.
Since then, Helen has given performances, presentations and workshops on cyberformance at festivals, universities and arts organisations internationally. With Avatar Body Collision she has devised and performed ten shows, and developed the purpose-built online performance software, UpStage. The launch of UpStage V2 in June 2007 included a two-week interactive exhibition at the New Zealand Film Archive and 070707, a one-day festival of live performance in UpStage featuring 13 performances created by artists from all over the world, which Helen curated and produced.
An active involvement with the Magdalena Project, an international network for women in contemporary theatre, since 1997 has brought Helen into direct contact with the work of many contemporary women theatre practitioners from diverse cultures. She has worked with director Jill Greenhalgh (founder of the Magdalena Project) on her series Water[war]s and is currently collaborating with a group of senior Magdalena artists on Women With Big Eyes.
As an arts writer, Helen covered the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for three years (1998-2000) and is a regular contributor to print publications and online arts communities.

Performancegruppe OKA

At the drama department of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich Dr. Jörg von Brincken establishes a performance workshop in the spring of 2006 for “Theaterwissenschafts”-students, which is to become the substratum of the OKAgroup.
OKA is an acronym, incessantly transforming but originally referring to three of the basic theatrical notions according to Aristotle-Opsis, Katharsis, Anagnorisis.
However, the group does definitely not consider itself as theatre-based but moved by the explicit aim to experiment with intense stimuli and affective impressions that go far beyond the scope of stagework and mimesis...
...and that means shifting, striking, lurking underneath the skin- of our city, culture, subculture and, more than anything else, ourselves
Projects and performances include:
“Reenacting Kaprow”- fall/winter 2006/07 in collaboration with Haus der Kunst
“ Moby Dick-Der weisse Wal-“-April 07, 27hour-durational performance tutored by El Periférico de Objetos
“ Intermetzel” – “Spielart” performance festival Nov.15-Dec.02. 07
“ Lophius Malte Piscatorius”-February 1st 2008
“ Coocoo”-July 19st 2008 Maximilianpark

Philtrat - Der Stadt ein Gesicht geben.

How does the city affect us – how do we affect the city? Where do we feel at home, where do we feel out of place, where is the city a city, and where does it become provincial?

With A Day in a Life, münchener philtrat, the Humanities magazine at Ludwig-Maximilians University, sets off in search of urban spaces in Munich. philtrat editors choose places that, for them, represent urban Munich, research the history of these places, and explain the personal significances that they hold.

This information will then be taken up, expanded upon, or simply ignored, by the team conducting the networking project A Day in a Life: Under the artistic direction of Horst Konietzny, the places and spaces chosen in accordance with the “urbanity” theme will be brought to life through installations and performances – and captured on film by photographer Michael Tasca for his photo series in the new edition of philtrat.
People involved with the chosen spaces in Munich will take part and perhaps tell their own stories through the pictures.
A cooperation from philtrat and A Day in a Life in celebration of the city’s 850th Birthday.

The new philtrat, with a focus on urbanity and the A Day in a Life photo series, will be available to buy for one week at the beginning of July in the Main University Building, in Schellingstraße 3, and at the Geschwister-Scholl-Institut. In addition, philtrat will be available from July 14 – 18 at the i-camp Basislager and throughout the entire semester in the Heinrich Frank bookstore.
