FOREIGN FRIENDS The work questions how proximity and distance shape our sense of belonging — how we meet, confront, and transform one another. Through moments of tension, empathy, and surrender, two performers navigate the fragile balance between difference and connection. Set against the backdrop of ongoing migration movements and the violent realities of war, Fremde Freunde becomes a physical reflection on coexistence — on what it means to remain human when faced with separation, displacement, and conflict. It is a meeting of bodies, histories, and gazes — a search for friendship amid the unknown. Concept: Stefan Planker, Anastasia Kostner Choreography: Anastasia Kostner In collaboration with Riccardo Meneghini Light design & visuals: Mirco Lazovic Commissioned by: Sudetendeutsches Museum München Photo: Jona Salcher The piece premiered in 2021 and continues to tour.

The project transformed the alpine landscape into a living stage. Mountain climbers became performers, moving through the rocky terrain following a choreographic score across the mountains. Their movements unfolded alongside the soundscape created by Ensemble Windkraft, whose musicians were positioned within the landscape itself. The performance premiered on the Langkofelscharte in Italy in 2019, where dance, music, and the natural environment merged into a temporary artistic intervention in the high alpine setting.

Through constellations of bodies, proximity becomes a site of negotiation, where attention, rhythm, and gaze continuously reorganise the group. The work asks: where does our strength emerge: from within, or in the moment we begin to move together? Informed by choreographic research at ArtEZ University of the Arts, the work is currently being developed and will be shared at the Alps Move Festival in October 2026. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/505256b0e4b020ebebdec896/cab7b194-499b-4a19-a1c5-5309e3c1fef1/IMG_2421.png Dance Choreography Research Dance Artist - ANATOMY OF FREEDOM ANATOMY OF FREEDOM unfolds through the layers of autonomy within the body and the forces that shape it. Through shifting physical states and subtle transformations, the work asks: what does it truly mean to be free? A collaboration with choreographer Sandra Kramerova. The project began with a first residency at Puerta de Toledo (Madrid) and is currently in development, with further residencies and presentation opportunities in preparation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/505256b0e4b020ebebdec896/8b4a998d-2a31-48f4-a378-4ce30296210b/DSC03290+Kopie.jpg Dance Choreography Research Dance Artist - CYCLIC BLISS 2023 - present https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/505256b0e4b020ebebdec896/8cc018eb-bfe0-4d78-9721-0c370b3fd8cd/2d021243-5f38-41ff-ba73-226772062a8d.png Dance Choreography Research Dance Artist - THE PRESENCE OF THE ABSENT 2025 - present https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/505256b0e4b020ebebdec896/c5521711-01e3-424d-af97-b660efbbd9bd/A3343448-6621-465C-85C2-02F455658F35.jpg Dance Choreography Research Dance Artist - UNDER THE SKIN 2021 - 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/505256b0e4b020ebebdec896/1609148065483-VPF644T3548TFT47X1FE/Screen%2BShot%2B2018-08-09%2Bat%2B15.45.56.jpg Dance Choreography Research Dance Artist - STRIVE 2018 - 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/505256b0e4b020ebebdec896/1609148147278-X1LI95KMDSEK9AKKGPNM/20247659_1744058699226907_5364504638816246480_o.jpg Dance Choreography Research Dance Artist - LOOK LOOK SOULSEARCHING MEDIA Look, site specific performance was first commissioned by Bolzano Danza in Italy, was further performed at 4bid gallery in OT 301 (NL), Mittelfest in Cividale (IT) and La Bequée Festival (FR).

Through moments of tension, empathy, and surrender, two performers navigate the fragile balance between difference and connection. Set against the backdrop of ongoing migration movements and the violent realities of war, Fremde Freunde becomes a physical reflection on coexistence — on what it means to remain human when faced with separation, displacement, and conflict. It is a meeting of bodies, histories, and gazes — a search for friendship amid the unknown.

The project transformed the alpine landscape into a living stage. Mountain climbers became performers, moving through the rocky terrain following a choreographic score across the mountains. Their movements unfolded alongside the soundscape created by Ensemble Windkraft, whose musicians were positioned within the landscape itself. The performance premiered on the Langkofelscharte in Italy in 2019, where dance, music, and the natural environment merged into a temporary artistic intervention in the high alpine setting.

Anastasia Kostner joined the project as rehearsal director and choreographic assistant. In this production love becomes a command and a challenge. Dictatorship of love is a contest of lovability and endurance, where love is an order, an imposition, something both wanted and feared. This work brings together professional dancers and volunteers on stage, creating a dynamic exploration of imposed affection and resilience.

Sharing the sound world of Canto Diviso by Eduard Demetz, a dancer and a drummer enter a dialogue where music is not only heard, but physically lived. While the dancer lets the sounds resonate through an organic, fluid embodiment, the drummer — Hannes von Metz — reveals how rhythm shapes and transforms his own physical presence. Movement and sound influence one another, unfolding as a shared yet distinct interpretation of the same musical landscape.
