lawrence ritchie

teaches acrobatics and movement classes in vienna. By the age of 12 Lawrence started to partake in modern wushu classes that triggered a deep urge to learn acrobatics. That urge led to 8 years of intensive training of martial arts tricking. After participating in tricking events all around europe and after gaining experience and recognition as a competitor and tricking atlethe an injury forced him to take a break from extreme movements. Lawrence then dedicated the following years to the studies of different fields of art where he eventually discovered his passion for contemporary dance. Slowly and by establishing a practice grounded in the ideas of sustainability and mindfulness he found his way back into acrobatic movement. In his fluid acrobatics classes he know fuses different styles into a multi-faceted training.

Bibi Bauer

a moving human, also a freelance dance artist

As she develops her artistic practice, she seeks collaborative spaces of exchange as this way of growing together fulfills her most.

Moving in different fields of dance expands her perspectives from various angles, enriching each other: being a contemporary dancer and performer, a pedagogue, working as a video editor, and supporting community and trauma-transformational theatre productions as a choreographic assistant. She has developed a deep joy and curiosity for improvising and the interconnections between the moving practice and life itself. As limits create freedom, she aims to offer her knowledge of contemporary dance training as a structure that calls to be broken and rearranged playfully through improvisation.
