Choreographic Centre Berlin

It is a new public space, a labyrinth of spaces, which is part of the city. The non-hierarchical performative environment enhances new ways of artistic expressions and articulates itself not in form but in the development of spaces over time.

Deconstructing the common relations of stage and auditorium, of entrance, foyer and staircase, external and internal separation, the performative environment could be understood as a new public space, a second layer added to the City. It is equally accessible from all sides, an environment which can be used in many ways according to the demands and preferences of the different user-groups. The potential lies in the non-hierarchical organisation of indeterminate performative entities. Their multiplicity and various spatial arrangements allow for more artistic freedom as opposed to historical compositions of room sequences and hierachical successions of inside and outside, of public and internal.
