ABOUT THE COMPAMY
UNUSUALBEINGS was founded in 2022 by the choreographer Corinne Eckenstein and is an internationally operating company based in Vienna.
We are a mixed abled company of artists of different dance styles and ages. Diversity is a core value of our company, which aims to give visability to different forms of expression.
The dancers in the production are at the centre of the choreographic work. Based on their different movement qualities, we create synergies and movement material, that gives our performances an unusual expression that characterises both the personality of the dancers and the choreography itself. The focus lays always on the body as the narrator of its own story, enabling new perspectives and unusual connections, both with each other and with the audience. It is not about the "perfect" body, but about how each and every individual can understand and experience their own physicality.
An important element is always the space and the confrontation with the stage set. We love the physical challenge and crossing physical boundaries.
In our productions for young audiences in particular, we seek a language that is both emotional and abstract and can be understood by younger viewers.
We tell stories of pain, grief and joy and celebrate life in its contradictory and diverse ways.

“With the premiere of a brilliant dance piece, choreographer Corinne Eckenstein thrilled the young audience. Maartje Pasman, Futurelove Sibanda and Joseph Tebandeke show stage presence and extreme body work. Recognizing one's own potential, self-confidence, individuality and a sense of community are taught.”
