EXQUISITE CORPSE

 
Exquisite Corpse at Design Quartier Ehrenfeld is a dialogue between architecture, dance, film, design, photography, fashion and art in Cologne's most experimental cultural laboratory. It stages a performance that challenges the architect's static structure and the dancer's body in movement.

In collaboration with the dance group 'New Movement', music producers 'The Boilerhouse Boys' and 'Hochschule fur Musik Cologne', Exquisite Corpse brings together performative and visuals arts to explore interdisciplinary work and create a unique cultural environment where every element has been created in situ.

This event is a result of the collective work of the AA Interprofessional Studio alongside professionals such as Andy Dean (Boilerhouse) and Hochschule fur Musik Cologne for sound production and live performance, Heiko Kalmbach (filmmaker, theatre director and video artist), Robin McNicholas (flate-e), Steve Webb (WebbYates) and Nick Crosbie (Inflate), with the support of the Design Quartier Ehrenfeld and the Kunstsalon Cologne.

Exquisite Corpse at Design Quartier Ehrenfeld is the second of three works-in-progress
growing from Madrid to Cologne and resulting in a unique collection of experiences to be performed in London in September 2011.
