Karin Pauer
Karin Pauer is a Vienna-based performer and choreographer. The exploration of relations, in betweens, empathy, and togetherness informs all her works. She negotiates these notions by combining embodied choreographic practices with language, visual arts, and live music. In 2008, she received her Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Choreography at the ArtEZ Institute of Arts in Arnhem, The Netherlands. Since then, she has collaborated with choreographers, theatre directors, filmmakers, and visual artists such as Doris Uhlich, Random Scream/Davis Freeman, Mike O’Connor, Maureen Kägi, Veronika Franz, Katrin Hornek, and Aldo Giannotti, among others. Since 2015, she has continuously worked with the Austria-based dance company Liquid Loft/Chris Haring. She was a recipient of the danceWEB scholarship in 2009 and the TURBO Residency in 2012, both at ImPulsTanz, Vienna. In 2018, she was granted the BKA START Scholarship. In 2020, she was nominated for the EU choreographic platform Creative Crossroads as part of Life Long Burning. Her own works have been presented at ImPulsTanz, Vienna; Tanzquartier Wien; Donaufestival, Krems; brutWien; Wiener Festwochen; MAMbo Museum, Bologna; and various international festivals. Her current work, testing grounds, a collaboration with Katrin Hornek, is on view at Secession Vienna until June 2024.
