She works as a maker & dancer in various collaborative settings. Her work is a meeting of choreographic and visual art practices
Asher collaborates closely with raw materials drawing out their physical performative agency. She highlights the tactile, visual, sensuous and existential nature of things to reveal the wonder of the “ordinary”; making what is often unobserved or overlooked, visible. Thus challenging the hegemony of anthropocentrism.
She offers compositional & choreographic tools; physical awareness & performance techniques and gladly shares her knowledge of production & funding. Her speciality - collaboration with; raw materials/objects /sculptures.

Timothy is an Austrian-American choreographer and performance artist and currently a constituent member of the APL working group „Research and Teaching“.
His current research focuses on sociological, cognitive and artistic practices that explore grassroots decision-making and feedback culture via expanded scores of embodiment.

Charlotta Ruth works with choreography, conceptual instructions and ludic systems.
Ruth’s research focuses on liveness in online to offline environments; creating systems, misusing technology and experimenting with other ways of being in the world. She looks for subconscious layers in concrete actions. Things that are dual; meticulously freaky, off beautiful and colorful grey.
Ruth concluded her PhD in Arts at the University of Applied Arts in 2022, currently co-leads the research projects Archives in Practice with Olivia Jaques and Marlies Surtmann (INTRA) as well as contributes to Outer Woman / Cordula Daus (Elise-Richter PEEK/FWF).

#memorization #forgetting #multi-sensorial #materialitiy #touching
Jasmin is a visual artist, performer, organiser and lecturer. As part of her artistic research, she creates performative, participatory, multi-sensorial practices that seek to reactivate memories. She is interested in the juxtaposition of multi-dimensional presences and non-existent absences, and constantly wonders how the process of remembering can be forgotten.
She looks forward to sharing and expanding her research on the use of haptic senses in performative environments, the effect of the materiality of objects in physical interactions and the intimate process of remembering.

Lucie Strecker, a Vienna and Berlin based artist, performer and researcher, is exploring experimental systems in regard to a post-anthropocentric notion of performativity, including material, affective, scientific and natural-cultural hybrids. She is looking for new modalities of microperformative perception and co-corporeality. Performing, exhibiting and publishing internationally, she has taught Performance Art and Experience Design at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, the Berlin University of the Arts and currently is a guest lecturer at artEZ, University of the Arts Arnheim and appointed lecturer at the University of Applied Arts Vienna in the Department of Art and Communicative Practices. From 2016 to 2020 she led the FWF-funded artistic research project “The Performative Biofact”, since 2023 the FWF-PEEK project “Shaken Grounds. Seismography of Precarious Presences“ together with APL members and external researchers.

Felix Helmut Wagner is a visual artist, civil engineer, and performer. His performances, performative installations, and video works mix principles of scientific modelling with narrative methods of theater. Fact and invention usually overlap in an absurd way in his works.
He explores the basic question “How do humans describe themselves and the world around them?” and how can this description be questioned and reinterpreted. On this research journey, the greatest possible openness and the question “Why not?” are very important to Felix.
He loves teaching and coaching. For him, coaching is an exchange at eye level, learning from each other and getting to know each other on a deep level. Felix is looking forward to supporting you in the topic "body and voice use", developing your narrative, and the use of different media for your storytelling.
