Public Moves: Repetitive Directions
with Clara Furey

Mon 04.08., 18.45h l MQ Forecourt l Free entry

Through a score of simple actions that we will execute together repetitively, we will feel the power of a group devoting themselves to the same intention. We will bow down, arch, push, pull, shake, run, stomp to the East, to the sky, to the West, to the ground, to the North, to the South. We will push our curiosity of the infinite ways one could do these simple actions and feel the joy of building an energetic ritual together.

Public Moves dance classes take place outdoors every day – international and local instructors share their knowledge of everything from jazz and Bollywood dance to waacking in free outdoor classes. No previous experience is necessary, and all ages and levels are welcome!

Registration begins one day before the course starts at 11:00 a.m. via the calendar or by telephone on +43.1.523 55 58-19. If a class is ‘fully booked’, there is still the possibility of securing a remaining place on site. It's worth dropping by!

Biography 

Clara Furey is a choreographer and performer based in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal. After completing musical training at the Conservatoire de Paris, she trained as a dancer at the École de danse contemporaine de Montréal and later worked with choreographers such as George Stamos, Damien Jalet, and Benoît Lachambre. In 2017, she choreographed her first group work, Cosmic Love. She also gave 90 performances of her solo piece When Even The as part of a MAC Montréal exhibition honouring Leonard Cohen. In 2019, she created Rather a Ditch, a solo piece performed by Céline Bonnier. With Dog Rising (2021), Furey concluded her exploration of tension and immobility, freeing previously contained energies in a performance focusing on persistence, groove and pleasure. Her works toured in numerous festivals including the Venice Biennale, the Festival TransAmériques in Montreal, ImPulsTanz – Vienna International Dance Festival, Performance Mix in New York City, Fierce Festival in Birmingham, B-Motion in Bassano del Grappa, as well as in countries such as Lithuania, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Azerbaïdjan, and Bulgaria. Her newest piece UNARMOURED premiered in 2024 at Kunstenfestivaldesarts in Brussels.
