"What inspires me most is observing my surroundings and immersing myself in a profound exchange with the world. Reminding myself that the separation of things is just an illusion. Having conversations when listening to understand rather than to only respond. "

The Community
2024
Projektraum Kunstverein Wagenhalle, Stuttgart (Germany)
With the invitation to become part of the community, the dance performance takes up the social longing to experience connectedness in a particularised society and meets it through the offer of communication. The performers interactively and playfully open the circle for situations of communal togetherness, of belonging, of being apart, emotionally and absurdly, and extend it to the audience: BE PART OF US. For the experience of moving together, even if only for a fluid moment.

PUTA
2023-24
Marienplatz Stuttgart (Germany)
PUTA is an outdoors multimedia dance theatre piece produced by an intergenerational and international team of women. PUTA deals with the construct of "female" insults and sets impulses for reflection and discussion on the female body in public space. Based on the idea of being seen and judged and being confronted with the gaze of the public, the performers look for different ways of appropriating the public space.

2023
An experimental documentary with voice interviews and associative performance visuals
directed by Manuel Endraß
To me, flowers were always a mystery. So natural, but still a secret. Hushed and screamed about, loudly, much more than I wanted to know. When my own started growing, I kept them hidden. Ashamed of but loved and celebrated. The people that I know never talked about it, yet they made it seem like the most natural thing in the world. Something that did not need explaining. And when flowers joined, magic seemed to happen. Magic I sometimes was interested in but also so afraid of. To this day, I don’t know how to feel about flowers. Sometimes I am alright with them and sometimes I try to wish them into non-existence. To hell with expectations, to hell with the lack of explanation, to hell with the binary.
This is a story about insecurities. About sadness and laughter, about loving yourself, hating yourself and being unsure at the same time. And even if we’re no wiser by the end, at least we know we’re not alone.

Kurt Weill’s Zaubernacht
2022
Wilhelma Theater Stuttgart (Germany), Bærum Kulturhus Sandvika (Norway)
The first stage work by the then still young and little-known composer Kurt Weill - was premiered in Berlin in 1922.
At the Musikfest Stuttgart 2010, the ARTE ENSEMBLE, commissioned by the Bachakademie Stuttgart, together with choreographer Nina Kurzeja, presented the first German revival of this work following the sensational discovery of the score, which had been lost for almost 90 years.
With its original musical range, which is still relevant even after 100 years, BLOMST! presents this work in a contemporary adaptation with the renowned chamber orchestra anew as an attractive music-dance-theatre experience for young and old.

Rocking Women Like Rock
2020-22
Theaterhaus Stuttgart, Landesmuseum Württemberg, Produktionszentrum Tanz + Performance (Germany)
Rocking Women like Rock deals with the wide spectrum of feminine pleasure and the many different existing ways of experiencing intimacy. It uses the virtue of fluidity of form in the female body, creating a variety of intimate situations on stage. Some of those situations are moving, some of them are exquisitely aesthetic and some are controversial or questionable.
Under the close view of the public, the two dancers of ‘Rocking Women like Rock’ go through a roller coaster journey. Reshaping and re-aging themselves they go through different stages in life. Throughout the whole piece, the two use their ever changing relationship to refine and define what closeness means, to one another and to one self, and how can they find pleasure in it.

Lauscher und Lunte
2021
Site-specific, forest Geroksruhe/Stuttgart (Germany)
Concert & dance - performance as an interdisciplinary instant composition
Lauscher und Lunte is conceived as an installative transformative concert with the theme of artificiality and naturalness in musical practice and illuminates the forest as a habitat, place of longing, idyll, myth, place of wildness and danger as well as an area for economic and political interests. The performers act in the field of tension of contrasting and harmonising relationships with the acoustic environment, the vegetation of the forest and the people present. The audience is on the move, entering different listening spaces and exploring the piece individually.
The project took place as part of the Saal Frei series ‘Inter Art Plant Action #Wald’
