Études

SEAWORLD VENICE will unfold beyond the Giardini della Biennale across the city through performances titled Études – a body of work she has developed since 2020, consisting of choreographic exercises and performative actions staged in public spaces.

According to Frederic Chopin, ‘an Étude is a musical composition of considerable difficulty, designed to provide practice material for an instrument and its player’. Yet, they are designed to ‘always please the audience in concert’. Holzinger’s site-specific performances become compositions between bodies, sound and architecture.

The Opening Étude will take place on 6 May, 2026

The attendance is free. Due to limited capacity, advance registration is requested. Registration for the Opening Étude starts on 27 April, 2026 via this website.

The dates for the upcoming Études will be published in March.
