COLLECTIVE MOVEMENT 2026 
– RELEASE
9.+ 10.10.26

With Collective Movement – Release, raumarbeiterinnen once again invite participants in 2026 to a weekend full of performative movement workshops. Following last year’s focus on “resist,” the format now turns to the moment after—letting go, relaxing, releasing.

What does it feel like to dissolve tension? What happens when control shifts into movement, when individual impulses flow into collective dynamics? The workshops open up a space in which letting go is experienced not as passivity, but as an active practice—as a physical, social, and artistic process. Together with invited artists, performative approaches are explored that combine movement, language, and interaction, and understand the body as a medium for transformation and liberation. The format is aimed at anyone curious about the possibilities of the body as a resonant space between tension and relaxation—regardless of experience or background.

With workshops by:  
Alina Lugovskaya (Movement, Physical Body), Nur Giménez Villarroya (Movement, Performance, Physical Theatre), Crystal Wall (Sound-Art, Performance)

WORKSHOP by TANIA FUCHS
Embodying Electro/Acoustic Improvisation

SATURDAY 15.11.25
10:30 - 13:00 @Raumschiff 

In this workshop we’ll be working electronic and electroacoustic music devices with our bodies. With synthesizers, loopers, microphones and effects for voice or guitar and no previous musical or technical knowledge required, this is a direct hands on invitation to improvise with sound, discover musical toys as physical extensions, work with everyday objects to create sounds or use voice to collectively become hybrids.

Tania will bring a few sound devices and shape the workshop in response to the group’s backgrounds and creative directions. Want to bring your own instrument or sound device? Curious to explore your voice?

PLEASE NOTE:
Tania’s workshop is offered separately, due to a smaller number of participants.

BOOK Tania’s workshop HERE 

Please let us know in advance about any technical or spatial needs, and drop a line about how you’ve been relating to sound or voice so far --> sophie@raumarbeiterinnen.org

Bio:
Vienna-based composer, DJ and performer Tania Fuchs (fka Abu Gabi) moves between electroacoustic noise, radical bass and fragmented dance electronics. Trained in composition, sound design, dance and media arts, they explore sound as confrontation and empowerment — using electronic devices as tools for research, expression and intensity.

WORKSHOP by STELLA MYRAF 
Reactions for Assaults - as a collective practice

SATURDAY 15.11.25
15:00 - 17:30 @University of Arts Linz

Many of us experience discrimination in everyday life, which may leave its mark as stress, insomnia or stomach aches. The project “Reactions for Assaults” elaborates a performative vocabulary as reactions to verbal discrimination, counteracting shock paralysis. In the workshop, after a short presentation and optional exchange of experiences, defense mechanisms are explored by shaking off what has been said and navigating between vulnerability, irritation and resistance.

Bio:
Stella Myraf, based in Vienna and Athens, is a performance artist working across performance, video, and multimedia. With a background in set and social design, they explore movement, choreography, and spatial practices within socio-political contexts. Recent works include Off Track, Where It Gets Turbid, Helden Verrenken, The Heat of Burden, and Molten Monuments.

WORKSHOP by VIVIEN TAUCHMANN 
Self-As-Other-Trainings

SUNDAY 16.11.25
12:00 - 14:30 @University of Arts Linz

The workshop invites participants to experience their body as a tool of (un)learning through embodiment. “Self-As-Other-Trainings” create a space where choreographed routines address intersections of labor and make structures of power and exploitation tangible. Between action and reflection, participants can deepen empathy, question self-images, and reimagine solidarity.

Bio:
Vivien Tauchmann is an independent designer and movement artist. She works, teaches, and researches at the intersection of design, performing arts, and somatic-political pedagogy, aiming to uncover and subvert processes that shape dynamics of power and alienation. She collaborates internationally with civil society initiatives, cultural institutions, and universities.

PERFORMANCE by VIVIEN TAUCHMANN
Self-As-Other-Training: Smartphone

SATURDAY 15.11.25
20:00 @Raumschiff

We warmly invite you to stay with us at Raumschiff after the first workshop day. In the evening, we’ll be joined by Vivien Tauchmann, who will perform for us and lead a workshop the following day.

The collective performative “training” invites participants to reflect critically on the relationship between consumers & production workers, the "here" & "there", the individual & the collective. The starting point are two similar gestures of opposite origins: browsing on one's smartphone and the monotony of the workers movements on the assembly line whose daily task is to check the functionality of smartphone screens. Through two distinct yet parallel exercises, this collective experience reveals not only a critical reflection of one’s own behaviour, but also the entanglement of labor and the people behind the objects that surround us.
