In solos, duets and the large collective, the dancers expand movements around the intimacy of touch; use sounds as language; the roles of dancers and supporters are sometimes clearly distributed, sometimes they become blurred. This creates dialogues between spoken, sounded, danced, everything overlaps, is rolled over, stands in the opposite direction. What is still harmonious, what is uncomfortable? Tension until the break – and the final resolution of the contrasts.

Kollektiva. was founded in 2018 and is comprised of international freelance dance and performance artists based in Hamburg. Consisting completely of women, the collective uses the diverse artistic backgrounds of its members, within a heterarchical system, to reach new possibilities of movement through research. With a contemporary dance basis, classical ballet roots, urban and afrodance influences, martial arts interests, and Feldenkrais expertise, the women of Kollektiva. find similarity through their feminine experiences. The differences in movement knowledge of the collective make the quality of their work richer, allowing for the open exchange of ideas on the stage, in the studio, and in interaction with the free scene in Hamburg.
