20 // TWENTY is a project which explores art and people in digital-virtual spaces and critically examines them. The virtual STADTBAD was rebuilt for this laboratory trip with 10 more swimming pools and a complex backend with interactive design tools for 2D, 3D objects, multimedia forms of expression in sound and video, room and light design options, object movement effects up to water and fog.
20 actors from 8 nations were curated into 10 tandems that get involved with each other, make the process publicly tangible and at the same time question it. Collaboration with Anneleen Swillen, Greg Scheirlinckx and Carla Petzolt to create:
Handing over
2023
19.4.2023 at Domplatz in Bressanone, Italy
26.4.2022 im Teatro Prometeo, Bozen, Italien
The two dancers Miriam Taschler and Carla Petzolt relate principles of an achievement based society to their bodies and their relationship to each other. Both are part of the power structures of this system - willingly or not - subordinate themselves, reproduce these structures in their interactions.
Die Perspektive von Handing Over auf die Thematik power and disempowerment is a materialist-feminist one, informed by the personal experiences of the dancers. While women* not only have lower-paid jobs, they usually do the majority of the unpaid housework. There is (still!) an attitude towards women* that discriminates against them, restricts their participation in society and prescribes a role for them as reserved and focused on the well-being of (male) fellow human beings.

SFB – shameful body
With this research, I use shameful body parts as a starting point for new movement qualities. I search for innovative movement material and develop new dance vocabulary for myself, away from learned "norms" in contemporary dance.

Interferenz
2022/ 2023
12.-14.5.2023 im Ideas Block Kompresorinė, Vilnius – Litauen
2.-4.12.2022 im Kunstquartier Bethanien, Studio 1, Berlin
The artists transfer the physical concept of interference into their artistic work - from two waves that collide and overlap,a new wave is created that has changed its form. Following this principle, photography and dance meet in Interference to enable the experience of both art forms in a new way.
The photographer Ilmė Vyšniauskaitė and the dancers Carla Petzolt, Mareile Gnep and Miriam Taschler make shame tangible through visual and choreographic means. They deal with the social, political and cultural facets of shame using a feminist approach. The artists focus on shame itself, but also on related concepts such as guilt and individual choice. They transfer this directly into the space.

(dis)played!
2022
Who owns public spaces? Who is wanted there? (How) is art allowed to occupy these spaces?
We will show various short dance films created in public places all over Germany. This will be followed by an audience discussion, the dancers and filmmaker will be on site. Cinema evenings will take place at Wiesenburg Berlin and Wolfkino, open-air cinema events at PA58 and by the Luisenbad library.

(dis)connect!
2022
What happens to a dance piece when it is reworked by dancers of different genres and movement styles?
(dis)connect! is a dance experiment: 12 dancers work together, across spatial distance and stylistic differences.
The artists performed in 8 different locations in public spaces across Germany. The results were filmed and are available online.

Urban movement research project
2022
How can dance interact with permanent art in urban space? How does dance reach places that have little to do with this art form? I explore how contemporary dance can work far from designated art spaces and draw inspiration from everyday art encounters.

an other way
2021

In collaboration with Ndar Dance, Sencirk, aWay Ensamble. Contemporary circus and dance, and different cultural contexts merge and create a new experience for the audience.
Structures
2021
Part of the interdisciplinary project 'Lyrical Will - Metamorphoses'.
Performance at Astra Brixen (Italy) together with Carla Petzolt
Power Dynamics
2020
Exploring through dance: How do different social groups experience power differentials? How do we deal with socially determined power imbalances? Can these power dynamics direct and shape us, and can we alter them as well?
