Exploring Funeral Cultures Through Movement at SZENE Salzburg
SZENE Salzburg recently offered audiences and students a unique glimpse into the creative process behind contemporary performance art. During a special workshop held at the Tanzstudio im Unipark Nonntal, artist Solène Weinachter shared insights into the research shaping the production AFTER ALL.
Investigating Farewell and Performance in Salzburg
Collaborating with dance scholar Miriam Althammer, Weinachter guided participants through an exploration of funeral cultures and performative farewells. The session focused on a compelling core inquiry: how physical movement and dance can communicate when spoken language falls short.
Rather than remaining purely theoretical, the workshop blended discussion with hands-on movement exercises. Attendees experienced firsthand the creative methods and physical vocabulary that inform Weinachter's approach to choreography and interdisciplinary storytelling.
