Farah Deen and Olivia Mitterhuemer are linked by a long-term, intensive friendship, strengthened through many shared experiences in dance. For several years, the two Austrian women have combined their physical and mental connection with their passion for house music and dance. Above all, the house step “Chase”, also known as “Hurdle”, inspired them both in terms of movement and in its themes of consonance, harmony and mutual understanding. In their piece Friend.shift, they embark on a journey through diverse (life) positions and numerous movement patterns, discovering new perspectives and expressions.
