Perform body exercises and movements of certain (unpleasant) situations

Vivien Tauchmann developed a choreography and re-embodied scenography based on the gestures and movements of the alienated other. This choreography will take shape as an exercise class, in which anyone can join. People that will participate will perform body exercises and movements from certain situations that we normally try to avoid or keep far from us. Through this direct confrontation participants will be thrown in to a reality of others; in the first case study routines of textile workers will be activated in order to reflect on the influence as fashion consumers, and citizens of the so-called western society.

Vivien Tauchmann is a designer currently living and studying in the Netherlands. She is enrolled at the Master's Program Social Design, Design Academy Eindhoven.

With a professional background in textiles and fashion, her work is driven by the investigation into the interaction of human bodies and their cultural structures and systems, thereby questioning their current status quo in relation to durability and social reciprocities.

About

Age of Wonderland 2017 presents 100 DAYS OF LEARNING, a global learning event to exchange valuable life experiences with peers. Doers and thinkers from around the world - innovators, scientists, engineers, artists, designers, social entrepreneurs - are invited to share their personal stories, ideas, and practice, not to be found in textbooks. Aim is to rediscover knowledge, challenge beliefs, and exchange life lessons with others. To make the world a better place, we need to embrace change on an individual level, and inspire others to do the same.

During World Design Event the gathered knowledge and experiences will be shared in daily talkshows at Peoples Pavilion and in Baltan Laboratories Expo (Natlab).
