WILD ACCESS Schöneberg
at Sportanlage Monumentenstraße in Berlin

WILD ACCESS started in the streets of Schöneberg and ended at the Monumentenstraße running track: a sports field that looks out over a cityscape of apartment blocks and trainlines. The choreography, featuring two dancers, and the immersive sound score was based on the endurance sport running. The dancers trained in running at a local athletics club and the sound consisted of field recordings from the site and texts drawn from personal experiences of breaking through physical thresholds.

“... You are always running towards what comes next, and once you have reached “next”, you set yourself a new goal. [for] “Wild Access” this sense of going “next” and “next” and “next” on a seemingly never-ending flat line is essential.”
