Psychology Of Space_
Space, Body and Sound
Psychology of Space is an interdisciplinary artistic research project. The collaborations and performances explore spaces and the ways in which we engage with them. These can be physical or metaphorical spaces, fields, spheres and conceptual spaces, as well as psycho-mystical or socio-political spaces.
Psychology Of Space is a fluid collective think tank that reconfigures and reconstitutes for each collaboration bringing together a variety of interdisciplinary artists. The individual projects approach the psychology of spaces from different angles and different contexts; visual languages emerge in exploring the relationships between inner landscapes of the psyche and outer spaces. The collaborations are annual and process-oriented.
Alchemy Part I And II
ALCHEMY PART I And II _ subversive tenderness is an interdisciplinary performance and a dialogue between art forms: what if the stage is an altar and the performance an offering?
ALCHEMY PART I AND II was made by a collective of artists creating an ethereal audio-visual sound experience as part of the Kultursommerfestival Berlin 2023. At the heart of the performance is the conversation between the spoken word, the movements of the body, the dialogue between poetry and sound; The piece unfolds from the intersection of dance, theater, music, spoken word and performance art, bringing visibility to marginalized perspectives and exploring intersectionality, identity, queerness and belonging through words and movement.

The Art of Play: concrete ballet_
The Art of Play: concrete ballet_ explores the relationship between body, sound and the magic of collective space. The performance evolves in the meeting of various art forms: contemporary dance, live video- and sound performance creating a dialogue in the tension between stillness and motion, the elegance of play is at center. Three dancers from different sub-cultural dance styles move through the audience on the lawn in front of the Brandenburger Tor; they interweave physical theater, bruk up ballet, hip hop, krump traditions, ballroom latin and street style influences.
Digitally modified audio files and synthesizer sounds are creating both lush and intimate soundscapes. The dancer’s motions continue seamlessly into an hour-long DJ set and extend into the audience. Creating new, sensual and sensory space for collective experience.
