Behind us lies an exciting weekend with many encounters and discoveries in the context of "Zur Zartheit von Rissen" (On the Delicacy of Cracks)! We would like to thank once again all those with whom we were able to explore the Heizhaus and its surroundings in a new way. We hope you had as much fun as we did sharpening your perception of the everyday and the incidental!

See you soon, your team from "Zur Zartheit von Rissen":

01/02/2023

Bella Hager über die Rolle des Publikums im Projekt „Zur Zartheit von Rissen“: „Schon während der Arbeit an unserem letzten Prozess „cellular encounters“, haben wir uns mit der Frage befasst, wie die Performer*innen aus dem Zentrum des Geschehens verschwinden und das Publikum ähnlich viel Aufmerksamkeit bekommt wie sie. Das Wort "Publikum" passt dann eigentlich nicht mehr. Vielleicht eher "instant performers"?“

Bella Hager ist zusammen mit Lea Martini die künstlerische Leiterin des Projektes „Zur Zartheit von Rissen“. Mit eigens entwickelten Expeditionstouren durch das Heizhaus erforscht „Zur Zartheit von Rissen“ unsere Wahrnehmung des Alltäglichen, des Unspektakulären und Nebensächlichen, um es zum Erscheinen zu bringen.

"Zur Zartheit von Rissen" findet von Freitag, 3. Februar, bis Sonntag, 5. Februar um 15.58 Uhr, 16.00 Uhr und 16.02 Uhr, jeweils genau eine Stunde vor Sonnenuntergang, im Heizhaus statt.

Der Eintritt ist frei, wegen begrenzter Platzkapazität Einlass nur mit verbindlicher Voranmeldung unter https://pretix.eu/Uferstudios/Zartheit/.

Bella Hager on the role of the audience in the project "Zur Zartheit von Rissen": "Already during the work on our last process "cellular encounters", we dealt with the question of how the performers disappear from the center of the action and the audience gets as much attention as they do. The word "audience" doesn't really fit anymore. Maybe more like "instant performers"?"

Together with Lea Martini, Bella Hager is the artistic director of the project "Zur Zartheit von Rissen". With specially developed expedition tours through the Heizhaus, "Zur Zartheit von Rissen" explores our perception of the everyday, the unspectacular and the incidental, in order to make it appear.

"Zur Zartheit von Rissen" takes place from Friday, February 3, to Sunday, February 5, at 3:58 pm, 4:00 pm and 4:02 pm, each exactly one hour before sunset, at the Heizhaus.

Admission is free, but due to limited seating capacity, please register yourself in advance at https://pretix.eu/Uferstudios/Zartheit/.

Gedanken von Lea Martini zu ihrem Projekt „Zur Zartheit von Rissen“:
„Das Projekt hat mich zu einer ganz konkreten Auseinandersetzung mit Fragen gebracht, die die (post-)pandemischen Zeiten noch offenbarer machen: Welche Rolle kann Performance gerade zukommen? Wie miteinander Zeit verbringen? Wie Individualität zulassen und trotzdem Gruppe sein?
Dieses Projekt gab mir die Möglichkeit, etwas auszuprobieren, das ich mich unter anderen Umständen nicht getraut hätte. Wir versuchen einen Gefäß für eine Bandbreite von Erfahrungen und Empfindungen zu schaffen, das die Unterschiedlichkeit von Bedürfnissen mit einbezieht. Zwischen klarer Form und großer Freiheit und Unförmigkeit begeben wir uns auf eine Reise ins Unspektakuläre. Das fühlt sich aufregend an. Weil es so groß und klein zugleich ist.“

Lea Martini ist zusammen mit Bella Hager die künstlerische Leiterin des Projektes „Zur Zartheit von Rissen“. Gemeinsam mit Marta Forsberg (Sounddesign) und Gilda Coustier (Lichtdesign) haben sie in den vergangenen Monaten das Heizhaus und das darin stattfindende Cultural Community Center intensiv beobachtet.

"Zur Zartheit von Rissen" findet in dieser Woche, vom 3. bis 5. Februar um 15.58 Uhr, 16.00 Uhr und 16.02 Uhr, jeweils genau eine Stunde vor Sonnenuntergang im Heizhaus statt.

Der Eintritt ist frei, Einlass nur mit verbindlicher Voranmeldung unter https://pretix.eu/Uferstudios/Zartheit/, da die Plätze begrenzt sind.

Wer zur Generalprobe am 2. Februar um 15:56 Uhr kommen möchte, wendet sich bitte an: leamartini[at]weichzeichen.net.

Thoughts from Lea Martini on her project "Zur Zartheit von Rissen":
„"Zur Zartheit von Rissen“ (On the Delicacy of Cracks) has brought me to a very concrete exploration of questions that make the (post-)pandemic times even more revealing: What role can performance have right now? How to spend time together? How to allow individuality and still be a group?
This project gave me the opportunity to try something I wouldn't have dared to do under other circumstances. We are trying to create a vessel for a range of experiences and sensations, which includes the diversity of needs. Between clear form and great freedom and shapelessness, we embark on a journey into the unspectacular. This feels exciting. Because it is so big and small at the same time.“

Together with Bella Hager, Lea Martini is the artistic director of the project "Zur Zartheit von Rissen". Together with Marta Forsberg (sound design) and Gilda Coustier (lighting design), they have been intensively observing the Heizhaus and the Cultural Community Center taking place in it over the past months.

"Zur Zartheit von Rissen" will take place this week, from February 3 to 5 at 3.58 pm, 4.00 pm and 4.02 pm, each exactly one hour before sunset at the Heizhaus.

Admission is free, only with binding pre-registration at https://pretix.eu/Uferstudios/Zartheit/, as seating is limited.

Those who would like to come to the general rehearsal on February 2 at 3.56 pm, please contact: leamartini[at]weichzeichen.net.

Gilda Coustier, Lichtdesign für das Projekt, über die Materialität von Rissen:
"Risse sind kleine Spalten oder Lücken, die in verschiedenen Materialien, einschließlich Metallen, Keramik, Holz, Beton und sogar in unserem Körper, auftreten können. Die Zartheit von Rissen bezieht sich auf die Empfindlichkeit oder Fragilität des Materials in Bezug auf Rissbildung und -wachstum.

Einige Materialien sind anfälliger für Rissbildung als andere. Zum Beispiel sind Weichmetalle wie Aluminium und Kupfer zart im Vergleich zu härteren Metallen wie Stahl und Titan. Auch Keramik ist normalerweise zarter als Metall. Dies liegt daran, dass Weichmetalle und Keramik weniger fest sind und leichter deformiert werden können, was zu Rissbildung führen kann.

Ein weiteres wichtiges Merkmal der Zartheit von Rissen ist deren Wachstum. Einige Risse können sich schnell ausbreiten und das Material beschädigen, während andere Risse langsam wachsen und keine signifikanten Schäden verursachen. Dies hängt von verschiedenen Faktoren wie der chemischen Zusammensetzung des Materials, der Belastung und der Umgebungsbedingungen ab."

Gilda Coustier, lighting design for the project, on the materiality of cracks:
"Cracks are small crevices or gaps that can occur in various materials, including metals, ceramics, wood, concrete, and even our bodies. The delicacy of cracks refers to the sensitivity or fragility of the material to crack formation and growth.

Some materials are more susceptible to cracking than others. For example, soft metals such as aluminum and copper are delicate compared to harder metals such as steel and titanium. Ceramics are also typically more delicate than metal. This is because soft metals and ceramics are less strong and more easily deformed, which can lead to cracking.

Another important characteristic of the delicacy of cracks is their growth. Some cracks can propagate quickly and damage the material, while other cracks grow slowly and do not cause significant damage. This depends on various factors such as the chemical composition of the material, the load and the environmental conditions."

Während das Heizhaus von GREENERY (27.1.) und SICK DREAMS (29.1.)
bewohnt wird, gehen die Vorbereitungen von "Zur Zartheit von Rissen" eifrig weiter.
Wir bereiten das Audiomaterial für einige der Touren durch den Raum vor. Dafür haben wir mit Maik Richter von den Uferstudios über die Geschichte des Gebäudes gesprochen.
Im Anschluss hat er aus den Tiefen des Archivs ein Bild des Heizhauses aus dem Jahr 2012 gefunden, als noch die Dampfkesselgetüme im Raum standen, für die der Raum einst gebaut wurde.

While the Heizhaus is inhabited by GREENERY (27.1.) and SICK DREAMS (29.1.), the preparations of "Zur Zartheit von Rissen" are going on eagerly.
We are preparing the audio material for some of the tours through the space.
For this, we spoke with Maik Richter from Uferstudios about the history of the building.
Afterwards, he found a picture of Heizhaus from 2012 in the depths of the archive, when the steam boiler galleys still stood in the room, for which the room was once built.

"Zur Zartheit von Rissen" | Bella Hager, Lea Martini, Marta Forsberg und Gilda Coustier

Das Projekt "Zur Zartheit von Rissen" widmet sich der Magie des vermeintlich Unspektakulären, Alltäglichen, Nebensächlichen. In den vergangenen Wochen hat das Team unter dieser Prämisse das Heizhaus und die Umgebung ganz neu entdeckt.

Aus den Probennotizen:
"Wie sollten wir das, was jeden Tag geschieht und wiederkehrt berücksichtigen, hinterfragen, beschreiben: das Banale, das Alltägliche, das Offensichtliche, das Gewöhnliche, das Ungewöhnliche, das Hintergrundrauschen, das Gewohnte?"
Georges Perec

"Zur Zartheit von Rissen" (On the delicacy of cracks) | Bella Hager, Lea Martini, Marta Forsberg and Gilda Coustier.

The project "Zur Zartheit von Rissen" (On the delicacy of cracks) is dedicated to the magic of the supposedly unspectacular, everyday, incidental. Over the past few weeks, the team has been discovering the Heizhaus and its surroundings in a whole new way under this premise.

From the rehearsal notes:
"How should we consider, question, describe what happens and recurs every day: the banal, the everyday, the obvious, the ordinary, the unusual, the background noise, the familiar?"
Georges Perec

Vom 3. bis zum 5. Februar öffnen sich die Türen des Heizhauses für die performative Expeditionstour „Zur Zartheit von Rissen“. Bella Hager und Lea Martini (Choreografie), die sich mit ihren Mitstreiter:innen Marta Forsberg (Sound) und Gilda Coustier (Licht) bereits seit November der Erforschung der Magie von Wahrnehmung widmen, loten Möglichkeiten der Transformation und der Öffnung der eigenen Erfahrungswelten aus.

Ausgehend von der Frage: „Was ist da?“ begeben sie sich in die Tiefe unmittelbarer Lebensräume und in die Komplexität von Nebensächlichem, Alltäglichem und vermeintlich Unspektakulärem.

„Zur Zartheit von Rissen“ hat sich durch das intensive Beobachten des Heizhauses entwickelt. Dazu gehört das ganz eigene Ökosystem des Heizhauses, seine weitere Umgebung, Menschen und andere Bewohner*innen dieses zentralen Wärmespenders der Uferstudios.
Stetig im Prozess begriffen wird die Begegnung mit Publikum zur performativen gemeinsamen Expedition, zum Suchen und Finden von Ausdehnungsmöglichkeiten unserer Wahrnehmungskonventionen.

Ab sofort könnt ihr dieser Expedition auf unseren Social Media-Kanälen beiwohnen. Erfahrt bald mehr über das Projekt in den kommenden Beiträgen!

From February 3 to 5, the doors of the Heizhaus will open for the performative expedition tour "Zur Zartheit von Rissen" (On the delicacy of cracks). Bella Hager and Lea Martini (choreography), who together with their collaborators Marta Forsberg (sound) and Gilda Coustier (light) have been exploring the magic of perception since November, sound out the possibilities of transformation and opening up their own worlds of experience.

Starting with the question, "What is there?" they venture into the depths of immediate living spaces and into the complexity of the incidental, the everyday and the supposedly unspectacular.

"Zur Zartheit von Rissen" has developed through the intense observation of the boiler house. This includes the very own ecosystem of the Heizhaus, its wider surroundings, people and other inhabitants of this central heat dispenser of the Uferstudios.
Constantly in process, the encounter with the audience becomes a performative joint expedition, a search for and finding of possibilities to expand our conventions of perception.

From now on you can join this expedition on our social media channels. Learn more about the project soon in the upcoming posts!

EVENT :: 16.10 // 13-16hrs
ON GATHERING AND REPAIR: mend, make do and holding things together

With Sheena McGrandles, Sophia New, Norbert Pape, Elena Polzer, Emma Catell

We would like to invite you to an afternoon at the Heizhaus, Uferstudios Berlin in which we will spend time with notions and practices around repair and gathering.
For the first two hours, Elena Polzer and Emma Cattell will host a mending workshop, introducing participants to various approaches and techniques of mending, darning, repair and up-cycling of clothes. There will be space to explore your own thoughts around mending and to discuss the political and social aspects of developing a sustainable and consensual relationship towards fabric and the things we surround ourselves with. Please feel free to bring along one or two pieces of clothing that you wish to repair with us.
After the initial introduction into mending, we will spend the third hour reflecting together on the subject of repair, supported by an audio lecture from Achille Mbembe, ‘Fragments of repair’ (April 2021, BAK, basis voor actuele kunst, Utrecht). Its a journey from the de-colonial, ecological, mathematics and computing to algorithms and animals.

Excerpt from Achille Mbembe from ‘Thoughts on the planetary: An interview with Achille Mbembe’: "For a long time, we have been concerned with how life emerges and the conditions of its evolution. The key question today is how it can be repaired, reproduced, sustained and cared for, made durable, preserved and universally shared, and under what conditions it ends. Overall, these debates about how life on Earth can be reproduced and sustained and under what conditions it ends are forced upon us by the epoch itself, characterised as it is by the impending ecological catastrophe and by technological escalation.” ( 05.09.2019, By: Sindre Bangstad and Torbjørn Tumyr Nilsen?

ON GATHERING AND REPAIR is a residency project with Sheena McGrandles, Sophia New and Norbert Pape. Over the course of their residency the look at the terms of gathering and repair. On Gathering they ask what brings us to gather? What objects or situations do we gather around? What physical practices bring us together, or how do we practice gathering, with people, places and land. On Repair, they consider the ways that the body, social relations and the soil can all benefit from carework. We will look into how acts of repair can be performed when we are all living on a damaged planet. How can we understand ‘repair’ beyond simply ‘fixing things’ to perhaps replenishing, reactivating and resilience.
ON GATHERING AND REPAIR is made possible by the RESIDENCY Supported by PACT Zollverein and Fonds Darstellende Künste

PSR can stand for many things - for Prickelnde Soziale Rumpelkammern, Preparing Social Remedies, PingPong Sangha Roastbeef, or also for Performance Situation Room.

What exactly an open space of unexpected situations between theater and everyday life can be - that's what the PSR collective is tirelessly tinkering and screwing with. In doing so, the artists' collective is constantly trying to create new places of encounter. Between people who would otherwise not meet, between themselves and others, between different areas of art and life.
At the same time, PSR juggles the organization of such a place. And looking for ways to reconcile everyday life and vision.
Because PSR wants the place to be used and available for people to experiment.
PSR is currently made up of Sheena McGrandles, Simone Willeit, Olympia Bukkakis, Lea Martini, Angela Alves, Ela Spalding and Dina Nurpeissova.
Neighbors are Café ACaU and the collective neue häute as well as all partners of Uferstudios. The spaces used by PSR are the large hall and the dance studio of the Uferstudios' Heizhaus.

Performers
DJ Madame Edwaar, Abdulkader Asli, Jamie Gordon, Dina Nurpeissova, Kdindie, Tanzerei, Myriam Lucas, ARTibiotics, Olympia Bukkakis

Ausstellung "Dancing with the Archive" von Onyeka Igwe // Ab Freitag, 25.02., 19.00 Uhr bis Sonntag, 6.3. im Heizhaus / PSR

s-l-i-c-e und Kuratorin Nora Heidorn laden zur ersten Einzelausstellung der Britischen Künstlerin Onyeka Igwe in Deutschland ein, die im Rahmen der Ausstellung "Dancing with the Archive" (Tanz mit dem Archiv) u.a. eine großflächige Projektion ihres Films "Specialised Technique" (2018) zeigt. Der Film ist Teil einer Werkreihe, die Igwe nach Archivrecherchen zur nigerianischen „Aba Women's War“ von 1929 entwickelte. Der erste nigerianische Aufstand gegen die Kolonialmacht dient als Ausgangspunkt, um mit britischen Kolonialfilmen aus der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts zu experimentieren. Mit ihren filmischen Interventionen in das Material möchte Igwe „das Archiv verfärben”. Sie fragt, ob dieses historische Filmmaterial „über die rassistischen Ideologien und die koloniale Vorstellungswelt, die diese Ideologien begründen, hinaus noch etwas anderes artikulieren kann”.

Hinweis: Am Freitag, 4. März findet um 20.00 Uhr im Rahmen der Ausstellung eine Performance von Djibril Sall statt.

s-l-i-c-e and curator Nora Heidorn invite you to the first solo exhibition of British artist Onyeka Igwe in Germany, who will show a large-scale projection of her film "Specialised Technique" (2018), among other works, as part of the exhibition "Dancing with the Archive". The film is part of a series of works Igwe developed after archival research on the Nigerian "Aba Women's War" of 1929. This body of work uses the first major anti-colonial uprising in Nigeria as an entry point to experiment with colonial moving images relating to West Africa during the first half of the 20th century. With her cinematic interventions into the material, Igwe seeks to "stain the archive" to try to “enable it to articulate something other than the racial ideologies and colonial imagination that produced it”.

Note: On Friday, March 4, at 8.00 pm, a performance by Djibril Sall will take place as part of the exhibition.

The countdown is on and soon we'll start with our gathering! In the next two days you can not only experience the performances and else at Heizhaus, but also two durational installations in Studio 16. So if you'd been lucky and already registered yourself to "HEIZHAUS - DANCES FOR THE FUTURE", check out also the Puppet Installation and "Poems for End of Times" at Studio 16!

PUPPET INSTALLATION by Soydivision and Taring Padi (on both days)
Recycled cardboard puppet is one of Taring Padi’s artistic practices in street demonstration, performance, and exhibition. In the demonstration, the typically life size cardboard puppets serve various purposes: to voice aspirations, to “multiply” the masses, to lift the mood, to protect from scorching sun and police violence. The recycled cardboard puppet has then become Taring Padi’s medium to educate, agitate, and organise diverse local communities in dealing with their respective issues.

POEMS FOR END OF TIMES by Mila Pavićević and Calvin Lanz (only on sunday, December 5)
Autocorrect poetry that speaks about fear, anxiety, isolation.
The poetry was developed as part of Urban Creatures by choreographer Sebastian Matthias, as well as in various projects by choreographer Sergiu Matis.

Let's lament and listen to each other this Sunday at 21.30 h!
"BREATHING OUT LOUD FOR OTHERS - listening towards social bodies" is a collective listening session. It started with the artist remembering a lament that his great grandmother use to sing in her village in Romania as a professional lament singer. She would say “Singing is breathing out loud for others.” Working with solfeggio frequency 528hrz - for regenerating DNA the artists composed with their bodies for your bodies … and theirs.
Let’s lend our bodies to resonate with and for others. Bring a heavy object if you wish.

There are many perspectives that can be taken with regard to the future. Within the framework of the two performances "Periphery" and "The Eternal & Awful Present" on Sunday evening, at 19.00 and 20.00 h, some of them will be given space.

PERIPHERY // 19.00 h at Heizhaus
Performance by Litchi Ly Friedrich, Black Pearl de Almeida, Kameron Locke
This first collaborative work by Black Pearl De Almeida Lima, Kameron Locke, and Litchi Ly Friedrich is a conversation, a call and response between dance, movement, song and voice, as well as an act of friendship and kinship beyond what words can describe. It embraces the coming together to form our own community, but without forgetting the differences in acknowledgement of each person. These fragments are a show of resistance towards the experiences within various white institutions we have made and a refusal to perform the projections put on us. It is an act of unapologetic solidarity, resistance and standing by our values. These fragments we share are an invitation to be listened to, seeds that need to be planted as well as the echoes of our ancestors, legacies and voices who keep having to fight to make themselves heard.

THE ETERNAL & AWFUL PRESENT // 20.00 h at Heizhaus
by Olympia Bukkakis and Oozing Gloop
Awful and eternal queens Oozing Gloop and Olympia Bukkakis present a series of utopian sketches, rooted firmly in the demands of the now, inspired by the traumas of the past.

On Sunday, December 5 at 5.30 pm, there'll await you "MELUZINE THE COSMIC MERMAID" at Heizhaus! Get ready for a Sonic Session of Sci Fi Anatomy!

"I was walking through the desert when the floor melt and i failed into the deep sea of the universe. Cosmic waters, all around me. The mermaid is breathing inside of my body. Her songs and stories like waterfall through my limps spiraling out of my mouth into hypnotic spells. Surrender. The Moon Radio Whales are on. And they vibrate through your bones. Can you feel it?"

An interweaving of installation-performance-concert-workshop. Yours truly Meluzine Codex Mercury will dive you deep into the sea of sensation and imagination accompanied by her Cosmic Band.

Through the HEIZHAUS - DANCES FOR THE FUTURE event, Lea Kieffer will also decorate the space with a collection of costumes and scenographic elements from her ungoing immersive instalation project "the cosmic camp" (initiated through Craft Hybrids Choreography reasearch). She will develop extensions specially for this context and some of the perfomances.

Lea Kieffer (aka Meluzine Codex Mercury): Concept, performance, costumes/scenography
Cosmic Band: Ángela Muñoz Martínez (aka Jupiter Sonic Smith), Nina Hynes (aka Vulna Zinazia): music, performance
Frida Guilia Franceschini (aka Morticia Moon X): coaching and outside eye
Yoav Admoni (aka Beatrix Stone Z-83): Craft Assistant

Preamble / Präambel (28.4.2020)

Heizhaus is both a historical and a contemporary space full of potential. We wish it to be a space of unlikely encounters between different people from diverse backgrounds and different artistic, political, and social contexts. It is a messy playground for all of us and our dances. It is my community center, your dance hall, their gathering space, her teaching studio, your forum for thinking, and our performance space. It is accessible and open to all who want to engage with the space and the idea.

Projects in Heizhaus are process-oriented, focusing on the question what happens when we meet. The space functions like an organism in which the different parts are referring to and feeding into one another. At the same time, its sensuous connections to the outside are its life lines: In Heizhaus, we want to engage with other practices already taking place outside of Uferstudios. We want to re-view our own artistic practices in the light of their social and political embeddedness and make it possible for you to develop yours. We want to experiment with the time conventions of artistic production. We want to support practices and works that include and address more than one community. When we speak of unlikely encounters and messy playgrounds, we hope for the radical permeability of different artistic, political, and social contexts. Departing from dance, we however encourage projects of all disciplines that take into consideration other disciplines to engage with this space. Welcome to experimentation and the entangled messiness of animating this space together!

For us, Heizhaus functions like an incubator: breeding ideas, practices, alternative habits, and senses. Come and make it yours, give it your warmth, your colours, and your feels. Use it as your tentacular organ. Work on something new, invite people you always wanted to meet, reinvent your practice, change your time economy, share what you don’t know yet and learn from everything that is happening around. Let’s spend time differently. Let´s spend it together.

What we would hope to see:
