Matt McCreary & Charles Auguste

This summer, they are developing a new work at Tanzquartier Wien for the Hof Kunst Fest at the MQ. Their site-specific performances emerge from an intensive engagement with architecture, in which they regard the city as both a partner and a material. Through their interaction with surfaces, obstacles and flows, they reveal the latent choreographies hidden within the built environment.

Their fluid and responsive movement language unfolds in direct dialogue with each site, blurring the boundary between performance and everyday life. While their work has found a wide audience online, its core remains the intensity of the live encounter and the reactivation of public space as a shared experience.

Matt McCreary is a maker and collaborator whose work centers on observation. He has developed a physical language that places his body in composition and conversation with public spaces and natural landscapes, investigating themes of absurdity, simplicity, and solitude. Collaboration underpins his practice, with a strong emphasis on engaging alongside other makers and their mediums, creating dialogues across disciplines through performance, film, and photography. His work attends to the subtle and the overlooked, asking what becomes visible when we choose to notice.

Charles Auguste's practice unfolds through a process of co-creation between body and space, questioning dispositifs and sites that remain fixed in their primary function. The body operates as a critical and creative tool, disrupting situations while opening up alternative ways of inhabiting them. His work pays particular attention to contextual choreographic systems, shaped by individual responses and cultural specificities. Working across creative languages, in dialogue with music, cinema, fashion and beyond, he develops a transdisciplinary approach. Moving against imposed urban flows, his work reconsiders the ordinary, revealing the sensitive, sociological, and political dimensions of contemporary gestures and situations
