What Does Dance Do? (2024)
A dance research and performance project created and performed last year at Tanz Tangente. It featured Michal Agasi, Steph Hanna, Linda Hillerich, Judith Kohlen, Laura Kremser, Claudia Roick, and Syn (Hyein Jo).

I am thrilled to share that I am leading a performance project this autumn!

What is a portal? A rift in the familiar, a doorway into the unforeseen. A transition that transforms, a shift that cannot be reversed. An opening. A passage into the elsewhere, where the familiar dissolves and something new takes shape. A threshold, a rupture, a call to go beyond.

PORTALS performance project is a collaborative process that combines dance, theater, song, composition, and dramaturgy. Physical scores, improvisational exercises, compositional prompts, and dialogues intertwine, steering the work in unexpected directions, as each participant's body, voice, and ideas shape the journey. This approach invites participants into a research space where each exercise uncovers new layers of material to be excavated, dissected, and explored.

The project is open to anyone with basic movement experience and an interest in an intensive rehearsal process. The focus is on a deeper understanding of artistic research and performance creation. Together, we will wonder and wander through the world of portals: physical, conceptual, digital, mythological, and fantastical.
