An alle Schaulustigen!
Wir sind gerade erst angekommen. Wir sind neu hier, wir kennen das Terrain nicht und wir lernen uns gerade erst kennen. Wir sind offen, geduldig und neugierig. Und das müssen wir auch sein. Denn wir werden uns den Raum teilen müssen.
Es sind unsere Persönlichkeiten, Lebenserfahrungen, Situationen, Realitäten und Fantasien, die die Inhalte bestimmen, mit denen wir arbeiten. Das sind unsere Werte.
Und die ändern sich und nehmen jeden Tag eine andere Form an.
Shared Values ist ein auf Body-Research basierender kreativer Prozess, der von der Choreografin Adrienn Hód geleitet wird. Vier Performer_innen mit unterschiedlichen persönlichen Biografien und beruflichen Hintergründen wenden sich einander mit experimentellem Geist zu, um das Wissen, die Erfahrungen und Praktiken zu erforschen, die ihnen auf ihrem persönlichen und künstlerischen Weg wichtig geworden sind, die sie bereichert und ihre Ansichten geprägt haben und die im spielerischen Raum der Performance geteilt werden können.
Der kreative Prozess von Shared Values stützt sich auf das Konzept von Neugier, Verbindung und Koexistenz - zusammen mit all den Widersprüchen und Herausforderungen, die uns umgeben. In langen Sitzungen geführter Improvisationen mit verschiedenen physischen und performativen Scores stellen die Performer_innen Rohmaterial zur Verfügung, das in einer Form strukturiert wird, die darauf abzielt, die Freiheit und Offenheit des gesamten Prozesses zu bewahren und gleichzeitig das Publikum dazu einlädt, sich mit dem Erfahrenen zu verbinden.
Shared Values basiert auf einem offenen Austausch, der durch die Zusammenarbeit individueller Performancestrategien entsteht und die performative Situation nicht als einen Imperativ betrachtet, der notwendigerweise ein starr strukturiertes Spektakel erfordert, sondern als eine fließende Plattform von Begegnungen.
Dear spectators!
We have just arrived. We are new here, we don't know the terrain and we are just getting to know each other. We are open, patient and curious. We have to be if we want to share the space.
It is our personalities, life experiences, situations, realities and fantasies that inform the content we work with. These are our values.
And that changes and seeks a different shape on a daily basis.
Shared Values is a body-research based creative process led by choreographer Adrienn Hód. Four performers, with diverse personal biographies and professional backgrounds, turn towards each other with an experimental spirit to explore the knowledge, experiences and practices that have become important to them throughout their personal and artistic journey, that have enriched them, shaped their views and that can be shared in the playful space of performance.
The creative process of Shared Values is organized according to the concept of curiosity, connection and coexistence – together with all the contradictions and challenges around us. Through long sessions of guided improvisations with various physical and performative tasks, the performers provide raw materials which are structured in a form aiming to keep the freedom and openness of the whole process but at the same time is inviting for the spectators to connect to the experience.
Shared Values is based on an open exchange, through the cooperation of emerging individual performing strategies, which considers the performative situation not as an imperative that necessarily requires a rigidly structured spectacle, but as a fluid platform of encounters.

The artists
Adrienn Hód is an internationally working Hungarian choreographer, specializing in contemporary dance and high-quality experimental movement. Her work is often research-based and focused on the human physique in motion, stripped of taboos and prejudices. During studio work she creates exhilarating and liberating situations that offer performers space, trust and agency to open up their physicality, sensations, emotions and layers of identity. Hód’s method is based on guided improvisation in the rehearsal room that appears in a structured form on stage. The finished pieces are often at the intersection of contemporary dance, theatre and performance. She founded HODWORKS, a dance and performance group of freelance artists, in 2007.
Alex Bailey (Performances for Pets) is a performer and artist based in Vienna. In 2014, together with Estonian Choreographer Krõõt Juurak, they created Performances for Pets. From these experiences they started giving Workshops by Pets and independently they've worked with autistic and differently abled children. They have performed with their young child & co-parent as a non-nuclear family in Codomestication, and their work has been performed widely at Brut Wien, Tanzquartier Wien, CNDB Bucharest, and Temporary Gallery, Köln.
Daphna Horenczyk is a performer, choreographer, and mother. She Grew up in Tel Aviv and currently lives in Vienna, Austria.

In addition, she performed in the works of choreographers such as Anna Konjetzky, Ceren Oran, Amanda Piña, and Ariel Cohen. Daphna is a graduate of the Sadna at Kibbutz Gaaton (IL) and SEAD (AT).
Csaba Molnár began his dance training at the Budapest Contemporary Dance Academy and then completed a two-year programme at P.A.R.T.S. in Brussels. In 2010, he joined the company HODWORKS led by the choreographer Adrienn Hód. In his work, Csaba Molnár explores how radical extremes can be combined in different methods and means of expression. As a performer and choreographer, he is interested in transforming the most private phenomena of life into a universal and liberating theatre experience. Works by and with Csaba Molnár have been selected several times for the European dance network Aerowaves.
Priiya is a nomadic body, attuned to folk dance and martial art forms from the Indian subcontinent. They translate desires with sound, poetry, body fictions and visual imagery. Their recent daydreaming takes them to visiting last vestiges of ice on mountains, archive sonic intimacy, fictional mythologies and configure instinct as a method of making physical puzzles.
