A site-specific dance performance was created in and for barock park Augarten in Vienna in collaboration with the department of the dance of the Music and Art University of Vienna (MUK). Drifting #1 is a 60-minute long exploration of the park in form of a 2 km long promenade through different pathways. 9 performers, through a series of movement practices, invited the audience and the passers-by to discover the power of playfulness and experience a new perception of the public space of the park. Concept and choreography: Alberto Franceschini Choreographic assistance: Desi Donato With 9 Students of the Musik und Art University of Vienna: Ivana Oršolić, Lukas Ziegele, Melina Papoulia, Yeaji Lim, Florian Decker, Camilla Orlandi, Milena Kapfer, Chiara Aprea, Joel Leupi Video: Constantin Georgescu and Carlos Protti Video editing: Carlos Protti Music in the video: "Kuroneko no tango" of Pink Martini and The von Trapps With special thanks to the department of dance of the Musik und Kunst Privatuniversität der Stadt Wien, the Österreichische Bundesgärten, Momentum Kunst- und Kulturverein, Associazione LAB13, Audrey Van Herck, Ingrid Cogne, Simon Repp and Charlotta Ruth.
