SCHRITTWEISE is a participatory walking choreography and performance intervention in public space that comes into being through the creative participation of the audience. An audio guide consisting of short spoken instructions invites the audience to participate in the choreography, which does not require any prior knowledge. For the duration of one hour, the participants listen to instructions and contribute to the overall event through their individual interpretation. A performative field is created in which everyone is simultaneously actor and spectator.
Walking is an everyday activity. It is a universal experience, spanning individuals and cultures. Walking, we establish relationships: between here and there, towards and away from, next to, behind, along with … We walk in different ways and for the most diverse purposes. Walking creates a basis from which we can meet and collectively experience and form the world.
SCHRITTWEISE is a game that is played both individually and in a group.
Step by step, maybe your walking becomes strange …

Choreographing City & Choreographing Walking
"SCHRITTWEISE" by Katja Münker is a performance-intervention, using choreography and walking to engage with city environments and create performative walks. It combines physical performances with an audio-guide and a research toolkit available online. The project aims to establish a collective aesthetic space and invites individuals to interpret and co-create within the provided framework, reaching beyond social and physical boundaries imposed by COVID-19.

The webpage at petercoyte.com titled "Coyte Frankel Music Dance" documents the interdisciplinary work of Coyte Frankel, an artist whose practice integrates performance, choreography, and music to explore spatial and temporal experiences. The site provides detailed visual and textual materials that reflect Frankel’s investigations into the dynamics of walking, rhythm, and bodily movement in relation to urban environments and natural landscapes. It highlights projects that fuse sound and motion, employing soundwalks and performative acts that engage the body as a medium for navigating and interpreting spaces. The page also situates Frankel’s work within a broader context of artistic research, emphasizing its experimental and site-responsive nature. It includes photographic documentation, audio recordings, and descriptive narratives that exemplify how Frankel challenges conventional perceptions of movement and space. This material serves as both archive and insight into the artist's process, revealing a commitment to understanding the interplay between sound, movement, and environment as a form of cultural and spatial inquiry.
