Manufaktur Caring
2023/2025
Manufaktur Caring is a contemporary dance piece about power, helplessness and the vision of collective support.
Two dancers negotiate gender roles assigned to them. Do they want to conform, or resist them? They try to do what is expected of them, get lost in endlessly repetitive patterns, and at the same time struggle to break out of this system. The boundaries between care and manipulation, control and dependence become blurred. A dynamic interplay emerges, ranging from “supportive” or “gently showing a new way” to “violently controlling.”

TWENTY
2023
https://www.stadtbad.eu/twenty
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:
SUSTAIN x
CTM VORSPIEL
2024
Sound and music have always had the capacity to create connections – between ideas, places, and people as well as within us. The interacting global crises we face are fundamentally rooted in the challenge of connecting across diverse perspectives and ideas, often set in opposition. It is more important than ever to explore the potential role that art can play in opening up imagination around possible just and sustainable futures and bringing these into being.
sustain.fm x CTM Vorspiel presents a full evening of live electronic performances and three days of hands-on workshops. Everything from how to perform live, how to take care of your mental health as an artist, to virtual modular synths, to building and soldering your own synths and modules.

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—when 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.
Photographer Ilmė Vyšniauskaitė and dancers Carla Petzolt, Mareile Gnep, and Miriam Taschler make shame tangible through visual and choreographic means. They explore the social, political and cultural facets of shame from a queer-feminist perspective. 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.
