The Performance-Company Liquid Loft was founded in 2005 by choreographer Chris Haring together with musician Andreas Berger, dancer Stephanie Cumming and dramaturge Thomas Jelinek. Inspired by science-fiction literature and cyborg theory, Liquid Loft's work reflects how our perception and bodies are transformed through visual media and the everyday use of technology. With their methods of deconstructing dancing movement material and shifting acoustic levels, Liquid Loft open up new choreographic terrain and put contemporary dance in context to other contemporary art forms. From their earliest works onward, they break the notion that the presence of the body within performance can in any way be more immediate than a verbal utterance or media image. Their idiosyncratic visual and formal language, the distinctive acoustic stage sets and the professional dance implementation have earned Liquid Loft international acclaim and awards, such as the Golden Lion for Best Performance at the Venice Biennale 2007.
