INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS Lina Lev
(OP)POSING BODIES by Lina Lev
Two bodies. Standing in space, searching for direction. A female and a male body exploring their possibilities for communication, expression, trust, and freedom. An invisible connection is formed. Is it stable, supportive, detached, or frightening? In an attempt to share (body) history and its weight, dancers Nemanja Bošković and Lina Lev expose themselves to the risk of falling, letting go, and the possibility of reframing.
Inspired by the exhibition Frauenkörper (“Female Bodies”) at the Kurpfälzisches Museum in Heidelberg, they examined the relationship between man and woman, painter and model, and the process of assigning gender roles.
The project was supported by the Ministry of Science, Research and Culture Baden-Württemberg, the Ministry of Culture Heidelberg, and INTER-ACTIONS / Edan Gorlicki.

CONTROL IS A STATE OF CHAOS by Kollektiva.
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.

BLUE SPACE by Kollektiva.
BLUE SPACE is a short movie directed by dancers of Kollektiva. It was based on improvisations in silence and with compositions of Jan Paul Werge. The improvisations were based on the regular practises of Kollektiva., that they cultivated within their weekly professional training together, in which they focused on the topic of femininity, matriarchy and growth or empowerment, as much as communal support of the individual within a tribe.
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.

HAMONIM by Patricia C. Mai
What is the first thing that comes to mind when you see 70 people on stage? HAMONIM – Hebrew for “what moves masses” – is the third part of Patricia Carolin Mai’s trilogy about “bodies in states of emergency.” Created during her eight-month choreographic residency at K3 | Tanzplan Hamburg, the piece brings together 70 local dance enthusiasts of all ages to explore how protective mechanisms manifest in the body and how community is renegotiated. It asks: What does it take to exist and persist within a group? Is the individual at risk, or do they find protection? Together, these 70 people form a powerful stage community that dissects the parameters of togetherness and critically examines the dynamics of the mass.
