ABSTRACT
The collective associated with the contemporary British choreographer Jonathan Burrows – Claire Godsmark, Hugo Glendinning, and Matteo Fargion – took a publication from the 1920s, Hans Brandenburg’s Der moderne Tanz in its third edition (1928), as their point of departure for the exhibition “Art – Music – Dance. Staging the Derra de Moroda Dance Archives” (2016) in the Museum der Moderne Salzburg. Two similar and interrelated but structurally differentiable media-specific works were created for the exhibition: first, a scenic performance in the museum; second, a video installed as a (moving) image on the wall. In this chapter, Nicole Haitzinger analyses both hese formats with regard to the idea of a ‘performative contour.’ With this, she touches upon the complexity and relationalism of performative and media transfers.
