Contact Improvisation

As part of a small group, I explore the possibilities of free dance and contact improvisation on a weekly basis. In doing so, we track down the innermost impulses of movement and express them directly in movement. The impulses arise from the body’s very own rhythm and the experience that is stored in it.

A dance partner can take up an impulse and react to it individually. In this way, a play becomes possible in the encounter that confronts both physical forces and emotional aspects. In dance, falling, rolling and jumping are just as much elements as lifting someone or being pushed. Every encounter is improvisation and contact at the same moment, nothing is planned or rehearsed.

Dance Improvisation

Why not come to a place and explore it through dance. Get in touch with the surroundings, perceive sounds and scents and feel the sun and wind on your skin. Transfer impressions into movement and fill spatial dimensions.

Here I am moving with Karen Kunkel as part of a project in Neu Wandrum. Further information about the project can be found here.

Dance in performance

Improvisation is an essential aspect of my artistic work. Free dance, which works without choreography and thrives on spontaneous action, enables me to work on various themes on a physical level. I therefore like to use movement and dance elements for my performances.

The performance with Jana Nedorost at the Pomeranian State Museum is also presented here.

Making movement visible

Images represent a frozen moment. Against this we are totally attuned to movement, what affects our physical constitution including our visual system. On the one hand, we react instantly to movement and turn our heads; on the other hand, we can stabilise an object in the image we see even though we are moving. The camera, in turn, makes movement appear as a blur in the photograph and thus creates a kind of image of movement.
