Habits, rituals, routines; they are all inescapable parts of human nature. Within these natural rhythms we find comfort and security, but also often melancholy. In disorder our minds learn to listen to the moment through freedom and invention of the self with each new breath. It is a constant search for safety while still being open to growth. What is it that you wish for in your life, the ability to give in to the chaos of everyday or the control to find clarity in a common routine? As a newly formed collective of women with diverse movement backgrounds, Kollektiva. found searching for the balance between ritual and spontaneity gave the opportunity to explore mutual understanding and support between newly-united minds. Dancers Ann-Leonie Niss, Clàudia Ferrando, Doria Worden, Isabella Boldt, Jasmine Fan, Julia Hehlke, Larissa Potapov, Lina Lev, Nana Anine, Verena Piwonka, and Wiebke Schittway present Control is a state of chaos, chaos is a state of control, a work-in-progress of self-discovery with original compositions and live accompaniment by Jan Paul Werge.
