Editta Braun (2008)

Editta Braun (born 25 May 1958) is an Austrian choreographer, stage dancer, dance pedagogue as well as founder and director of the Salzburg dance company editta braun company.[1]. She is known as a pioneer of contemporary dance in Salzburg and Austria[2][3][4] and chairwoman of tanz_house[5], the association of freelance choreographers based in Salzburg.[6]


Life

Editta Braun was born in Vöcklabruck in the Upper Austrian Salzkammergut.[7] As a child, she learned classical ballet and piano[7][8] and trained intensively in gymnastics (Upper Austrian state champion with the young gymnasts 1974.[9]).

From 1976 to 1982, she studied sports science and German language and literature at the University of Salzburg.[7] In 1983, she began her dance training in Paris and New York.[7][10] She was also influenced by acting lessons (Method Acting) with Walter Lott and by a dance project with Wim Vandekeybus initiated by SZENE Salzburg, where she learned to combine her artistic gymnastics technique with contemporary, sporty dance.[11]

The impulse to turn to contemporary dance was given by the encounter with the work 1980 of Pina Bausch at a performance in Vienna in 1982.[11]

Artistic career

In 1982, Editta Braun founded the "Kollektiv Vorgänge" together with Beda Percht,[7] which won the Bagnolet Choreography Prize (ex equo with Saburo Teshigawara) with Lufus in 1986.[12]

In 1989, she founded the editta braun company in Salzburg, with which she has since produced and internationally toured (through Europe, Africa and Asia) at least one full-length dance piece every year.[10] Her dance pieces have won numerous awards.[13]

In the field of dance filming, Braun worked with Othmar Schmiderer, Wolfram Paulus and Hannes Klein, among others, from an early age. Her short film "Collision", directed in 1993 by Othmar Schmiderer, was awarded the bronze medal at the New York Film Festival in 1995[14].

Teaching

Since 1987, Editta Braun has taught acrobatic gymnastics and gymnastic dance forms at the Interdepartmental Faculty of Sports and Movement Sciences of the Paris Lodron University Salzburg and since 1997 Contemporary dance, physical theatre, choreography, improvisation and professional strategies at the Institute for Dance Arts of the Anton Bruckner Private University in Linz (Austria).[7][8][10]

From 1992 to 1998, she worked as a lecturer at ImPulsTanz Wien (formerly Internationale Tanzwochen Wien)[15] and from 1994 to 1997 as a commissioned choreographer for the Vienna State Opera Ballet School[16]. In 2006, she supervised the youth project "wintertime" at the Festspielhaus St. Pölten.[17]

As part of her teaching activities, Editta Braun developed a specific improvisation technique that combines acting and contemporary dance to create "Physical Theater".

Style and working method

Editta Braun's dance pieces stand out for an expressive, theatrical style, often combining humour and pathos and always interwoven with a resolutely socio-critical commitment. Another characteristic feature of Editta Braun's creative work is its close collaboration with composers, live musicians and artists from outside Austria.[8][10] The collaboration with the French dancer and choreographer Jean-Yves Ginoux[18], with the Egyptian director Mahmoud Aboudoma[19] and with Jean Babilée[20] was particularly influential. With him, Editta Braun created the dance theatre piece "La vie, c'est contagieux" in 1993/94 in Paris[21][22] and Salzburg[23][24].

Since 1996, the creation of her pieces has been closely linked to the music of the composer and musician Thierry Zaboitzeff[7][25], with whom she also shares her life.[26]

planet LUVOS, 2012

Editta Braun's most internationally successful production is Luvos, vol.2[27][28][29][30]. The "Dauerbrenner" (Ditta Rudle 2008) was developed further from the piece Lufus (see above) in Salzburg in 2001 and with it establishes a series of innovative, purely female body illusion theatres, including planet LUVOS (2012), Close Up (2015), Close Up 2.0 (2017) and Fanghoumé (2019). In this series, Editta Braun and her company conduct continuous research into the visual overcoming of bodily boundaries.[31] (cf. editta braun company: The "Luvos" series[32])

Social-critical and ecological commitment

Since the eighties, Editta Braun combines her creative impulse with a critical one to a decidedly political artistic work[33][8]. Pieces such as Voyage à Napoli, Luvos, vol. 2, King Arthur[34] or currently resident in[35] already made this clear in the choice of themes. In 2011, schluss mit kunst[36] with text contributions by Kurt Palm and Christian Felber, among others, questioned the meaning of artistic creation in the face of hunger, war, environmental destruction, extinction of species and growing inequality.

Braun has also been rewarded for her intercultural mode of production: The choreographer repeatedly developed socially committed projects with local artists, especially in Asia and Africa, and confronted their cultural, historical, and social identities with Central European traditions.[10] The resulting pieces include India (1998 in Bangalore and Salzburg)[37][38][39], manifest (2002 in Senegal and Salzburg)[40][41] and Coppercity 1001 (2007/08 in Alexandria/Egypt and Salzburg).
