Katrin Dollinger (GER) & Gero Tögl (GER)
Katrin Dollinger and Gero Tögl, both dramaturges by training and profession, have studied and documented the development of DO TANK from its beginning at the Spielart festival 2011 in Munich. Bruno Latour’s socio-philosophical thinking has become their tool for a practice-based field study, which equally gave consideration to the artists, visitors, and the material frameworks active in the project. How can artistic practice participate in constituting ideas, visions, reflections of our daily lives and alternate realities? How can we allocate our fellow cohabitants in the cosmos an equitable position in political representation?
Detached from their local context, the two fieldworkers sharpen their anthropological view on artists and their potential for social change. They define DO TANK as a locus of knowledge production. They present the results of the first collective research and collect new material for its continuation in 2013.
The research from DO TANK Helsinki will be available for the public here on this blog at the end of the festival.
Katrin Dollinger is a dramaturge, production manager and press consultant. She studied drama at the Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich, the Bavarian Theatre Academy August Everding and Cultural Management at the European University Viadrina in Frankfurt/Oder. Since 2003 she is active in the Munich theater scene. From 2006 she is the guest curator of the TRANSPORT festival. She also worked as a program designer for the Pasinger Fabrik theatre. In 2012 she has been investigating "The Theater of the Void" with the author Kai Schmidt with a working grant from the city of Munich. Recently she contributed to Christoph Theußls real-fiction subway performance UNTN which focused on the blur of personal and objective realities.
Gero Tögl studied Dramaturgy, Communication Studies, Comparative Literature and Literary Theory at Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich from which he graduated in July 2009. He has been working as a dramaturge and producer for PATHOS Munich since 2004 and as a research fellow for the DFG-funded Reinhard-Koselleck-Project “Global Theatre Histories” at the Theatre Studies Department of LMU since 2010. Tögl is a PHD-candidate in Theatre Studies and has published articles on theatre history, media theory, and computer game studies.
