A few weeks have passed since I covered it — now the Donaufestival is on since last week (and it was a blast so far).
This week is going to be very nice as well. Matthew Herbert, Dresden Dolls, Peaches … just to mention the headliners. But they’re clearly not the only interesting performers this week. One of them needs your help. Yes, that’s right.
The duo Uniform (Noise artist Wajid Yaseen & fine artist Alice Kemp) need about 20 people to perform movements/dancing in a fashion that resembles the Butoh style. As Wajid said himself, there won’t be so much strict ‘dance’…more like very simple movement
. On stage, and in the crowd. The dancers, one of them hopefully you, will be as naked as they (and the artists) are fine with, and painted white.
The music is about as strange as the dancing — mostly ambient with some noise aspects, largely dominated by sound rather than beat. The Wire says their new album (which was released this month), raises smiles and send shivers simultaneously
— but I’m sure you can judge by yourself:
You’d receive a free festival pass for this week, a Donaufestival t-shirt, the travel expenses, and not to mention the opportunity to participate at an one of a kind project.
So in case the combination of unusual music and getting naked gets you going, drop them a line and include your your name and phone number.
To quote the Wiener Lloyd: Participate!



looking forward to your report about that; striking pointless poses to silly sounds is a lot of fun!
