I like to move it (2009)

WTKB actively contributed to the school project I like to move it move it as part of Linz09. Linz09 marked the European Capital of Culture programme hosted by Linz in 2009, realized in collaboration with Vilnius, and brought together a wide range of artistic initiatives across public and institutional contexts.

The project connected contemporary artists with more than 2000 students and around 700 teachers across approximately 90 schools in Upper Austria. The artistic work was embedded within regular classroom settings and followed a process oriented approach. At its core was the question of how movement and creativity can function as fundamental modes of learning.

WTKB worked in schools in Grieskirchen and Schwanenstadt, including HTL Grieskirchen and Volksschule Grieskirchen. In collaboration with DD Dorvillier, two distinct performances were developed together with the respective classes. These works emerged from the individual movement qualities and perspectives of the participants, evolving into choreographic structures and collective forms of expression. The process opened spaces in which perception, bodily awareness, and shared creation could intersect.

A key conceptual reference was the work of Sir Ken Robinson. His reflections on the role of creativity in education, alongside his critique of standardized learning models, provided an important framework. His understanding of multiple forms of intelligence resonates with the project’s intention to approach school as an open space for artistic practice and independent thinking.
