Positions of Young Female Artists in the Context of a Medical University with Commentary by Experts from the Field of Arts/Choreography in Medicine

LASER Vienna brings together four young female Vienna-based choreographers who have in common that they use the logic of their own physical presence to mediate four in/environmental conditions (writing, outer space, quantification, bacteria), transforming artistic into political as well as comic agency. The artists have been either in clinical employment with the Medical University of Vienna after studying Art&Science (Laura Stoll, Daniela Brill) or Choreography/Dance (Sara Lanner), or discussed their transdisciplinary choreographic  concepts within the context of the Medical University (Julia Müllner). All four works have been previously shown at performance houses and institutions, two of them under pandemic conditions. In an accompanying commentary, Patricia Olynyk and Suzy Willson will reflect on the four works with their expertise as artistic and choreographic educators in academic and clinical medicine.
