The Freestyle Orchestra Details
The Freestyle Orchestra is an artist collective based in Vienna, Austria which brings together classically trained musicians with a movement background and physical artists with a musical background, developing together into strongly multidisciplinary performers.The Freestyle Orchestra seeks methodologies to more fully integrate acoustic instrumental music with modern circus, dance and physical theatre elements, examining the interplay and intersectionalities between the physical and the musical artist. Members rehearse both movement choreography and music together, also working individually, studying a variety of circus disciplines including fire manipulation (staff spinning, poi, fire eating and fire breathing), aerial arts (silks, corde lisse, straps), acrobatics (gymnastics, yoga, handbalancing), circus movement (cyr wheel, card manipulation etc.) and various dance/physical movement styles. The result is a uniquely interdisciplinary performance experience where artists are challenged to switch quickly between formats. Recipients of a Tarisio Trust Young Artist Grant in 2016 (Audience Choice), performance highlights include the Venice Biennale 2017, ‘The Marble Circus' (black-and-white film shot in Carrara, Italy - premiered at The Australian Circus Festival 2018), International Storytelling Festival (Austria), ‘Orchestra am Berg' (concert at 1900m in the Austrian Alps), Vienna International Buskers Festival and Les Jardins Musicaux classical festival (Switzerland) and 'Smile' - The Spirit of Chaplin' gala at Theater Akzent, Vienna. Members of The Freestyle Orchestra recently toured Australia in June 2019, combining with Australian musicians and creatives to create the #freestylesymphony for their new project ‘Concertos on Fire' at Vivid Festival Sydney, exploring new directions in concert presentation fusing aerial circus, fire performance, physical theatre and contemporary classical music.
