Joining is a necessity born “out of commitment and attention to materials and to the ways they want to go. Its antonym is negligence” (Ingold, 2015).

Does our relation to the material world reflect the way we relate to each other?

Hubris takes from craftsmanship as a condition of dedication to investigate human and non-human forms of interrelation.

Alberto Cissello (IT/AT) is a dance artist currently living in Vienna. Together with Martina De Dominicis, he is co-founder of Debocs whose creation yet to be born (2019) has been recently touring in Germany, Austria, Italy and Croatia. In co-production with cielaroque/Helene Weinzierl, Alberto created the duo work Two in the clock, presented at tanz_house festival 2018, Salzburg. As a performer he regularly collaborates with the Salzburg-based choreographer Helene Weinzierl and has been working for European dance companies such as EgriBianco Danza, Oper Graz Tanzkompanie and Norrdans, among others. In Vienna he was part of Eva-Maria Schaller’s Sonic Textures (2018) and FEMENINE (2022) and was guest teacher at Tanzquartier Wien and MUK.

Daphna Horenczyk (IL/AT) is a performer, choreographer, accompanying creative processes, teacher and mother. She grew up in Tel Aviv and currently lives in Vienna, Austria. In her artistic work, she deals with the gap between experience and representation and uses irony as a critical tool for social phenomena. Her latest work Diorama: stories and Passage premiered in Vienna with the support of the City of Vienna and the Austrian Federal Chancellery. In addition, she performed in the works of choreographers such as Adrienn Hod (Hodworks), Anna Konjetzky, Ceren Oran, Amanda Piña, and Ariel Cohen. Daphna studied dance and choreography in the Sadna at Kibbutz Gaaton (IL) and SEAD (AT). www.daphnahorenczyk.com

Martina De Dominicis (IT/AT) is Vienna based dance artist and choreographer. After a career with several institutional dance companies across Europe, she begins in 2016 to collaborate with Rafaele Giovanola for Cocoondance company (DE/CH). The ongoing collaboration with the company as performer, outside eye and as researcher in the creation of a movement glossary, stimulated the desire to investigate a methodology that flows in between practice and theory. In line with this aim she is currently carrying out her MA studies in Movement Research at the Anton Bruckner Private University in Linz. In Vienna she was part of Veza Maria Fernandez’s Amadora Llama (Tanzquartier Wien, 2018) and Georg Blaschke’s Giotto’s Corridors (Brut 2021). She is co- founder of the Backpulver_training and feedback practices project. In 2019 she co-initiated with Alberto Cissello the artistic duo collective Debocs. With the piece yet to be born they have been invited to perform in Germany, Austria, Italy, and Croatia.
 As a teacher she has been sharing her practice in ZZT Dance University in Köln, Otto Falkenberg Schule Munich, Dancearts Boris Nebyla in Vienna. www.debocs.com
