about Ursula Fink
I
am a dance-based artist/ choregrapher and embodiment facilitator located close to Vienna,
Austria.
I
create experiential spaces that invite the beholder to interact, become part of the artwork
and question everyday realities and
narratives.
As embodiment facilitator Iam interweaving somatic research with artistic practises.( Listening Body practise , movingintopresence.at)
On
the intersection between art and science, utopia and urban space I
am dealing with the mechanics of
construction/ deconstruction and embodiment of human perception and identity.
This is the starting point for performative installations, site specific work
and interventions in public space, which can employ an interdisciplinary and
variational range of media.

I
am a dance-based artist /choregrapher and embodiment facilitator located close to Vienna,
Austria.
I studied Contemporary Dance in Austria&Finland and I am holding a masters degree in Psychology (University of Vienna).
I
believe in embodiment and it´s importance for the individual and collective to remember
the future and find ourselves in the infinite now.

Interest
I
create experiential spaces that invite the beholder to interact, become part of the artwork
and question everyday realities and
narratives.
Dealing
with public space, I am interested in sites
of transition , in both physical and metaphysical contexts. Elevators,
train stations, corridors, escaltors ..become
stages for bodies of transition.
Research Topics
..largely revolves
around the phenomenon of physical listening.
how can the phenomenon of listening be extended beyond the organs of hearing to
the physical body? how do we process and reproduce information? And how can this affect political realities,
participatory processes and collective intelligence?
o Somatic
listening/collective listening/deep listening
o Listening Body practise Interweaves somatic
research and artistic practises, global relations and the inextricable
connection between individual, society and the field. See here: movingintopresence.at
o Contact Improvisation as an artform Gravity&levity:
how do we relate to the earth as a living organism , the gravitational field and
space?
oPresence & Absence as human metamodern
strategies
