Styrian cultural initiative

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Steirische Kulturinitiative is an organizer and producer in the fields of literature, media art , dance , theater and visual arts . It was founded in 1977 with the aim of promoting and revitalizing the Styrian art scene. Herbert Nichols-Schweiger has been the head of the project since 1994. In 2000, the former Graz City Councilor for Culture, Karl-Heinz Herper, took over the chairmanship of the association. One of the self-imposed goals of the Styrian Cultural Initiative is to create a growing understanding between art processes and the many parallel, increasingly stressed societies.

dance

One focus of the dance division is Butoh , a dance form from Japan . Participating choreographers included Yumiko Yoshioka, Ko Murobushi, Moe Ymamoto, Kei Shirasaka, Jean Daniel Fricker or Shinichi Momo Koga, as well as the director and set designer Joachim Manger or the lighting designer Takashi Miyamukai. Musical accompanists included Zam Johnson, Myra Melford and Bernhard Weiss.

Visual arts

For various reasons (modest training opportunities in Styria, economically poorly developed galleries, “reluctance” of the large interest groups), visual artists have only limited opportunities to make a living from their art.

The Steirische Kulturinitiative has been running the Studio KI in the former Palais Dietrichstein since 1999 as a place for cultural project work for the off-scene in Graz-Mitte.
