UNCLEAR DEFINITIONS by Franziska Zauner

This open exposition explores uncertainties and critical engagement through Backpulver´s Feedback Sessions in Vienna during winter/spring 2024. It is called BACKPULVER - think and practice tank for contemporary dance and works with the circular feedback training provided and co-facilitated by 6 different dance artists and the Backpulver Peer group. The aim is to Co-Generating Knowledge for other facilitators and to impact on the Viennese Dance Community. Another interest is in measurement of such Impact, which is tried to approach trough arts-based research. Visibility politics is also at the center of this research / work. It is treated through consent but also through artistic translation of the data. This exposition is not a classic documentary in the sense of an “inventory” or “record/evidence” of an event that is as objective, visual or written as possible. This research is understood as the art of documentation as a translation of what has been experienced into what can be used for further generation of knowledge.
