paper landscapes

In May 2021, Annie was invited as Artistic Director & choreographer of the third installation of the Unforeseen Abilities Stage Lab at ZhDK, Zuricher Hochschule der Kunst in Zurich, Switzerland. Working with 15 dancers including ZHdK BA first & second year dance students, and professional dancers with disabilities, Annie and the team created paper landscapes, a 23 minute work which toured through the IntegrART festival network May-June 2021: 

ZHdK (Zurich) - May 21st, 2021

Orme Festival (Lugano) - May 28th, 2021

Wildwuchs (Basel) - May 30th, 2021

Out of the Box Festival (Geneva) - June 2nd, 2021

BewegGrund Das Festival (Bern) - June 5th & 6th, 2021

‍

paper landscapes explored the sculptural qualities of paper, and was a post-pandemic explosion of joy, endurance, togetherness, and energy.

‍

The stage lab is a biannual collaboration between Teatro Danzabile (Lugano) and ZHdK (Zurich), with a different director each year, supported by Migros Kulturprozent.
