At 2000-2700m altitude
This August I had the privilege of being high up in the mountains of the canton Grisons for several weeks, hiking 5-8 hours a day at 2000-2700m altitude through nature.
Probably no better opportunity to return after a little while to my outdoor practice in this breathtakingly beautiful and wild environment.
SRT Summer Intensive in Bern
It is with great pleasure that I look back on the 5-day Summer Intensive SRT - Opening into New Territories, that took place 24 - 28 July 2023 at Akar Studio in Bern. It was a honor to work at the probably oldest studio for contemporary dance in town, where artistic work has been created and dance history has been written for over 5 decades.
Crow, Knife and Letters
With a shared passion for making and performing dances by composing them instantly we, dance artists Alkistis Theophilou, Marianthi Michailidou and Bettina Neuhaus have been working together in the studio in January in Amsterdam to share our artistic practice and carry it forward.
Tending Decay
After having waited since 2020 for the opportunity to meet finally in person we, Canadian dance artist Susanna Hood and I are thrilled to meet finally in person in Berlin from 22 to 29 November and work on a first version of TENDING DECAY, an interactive installation inspired by the pandemic experience and exploring caring for the other in absence.
A visit to earth, air and trees
Together with a wonderful group of participants I spent this late autumn 2 days in the large nature reserve of the Oberwald in Karlsruhe. A breathtaking eco-system with a unique biodiversity of trees such as Pedunculate oaks and hornbeams, shrubs, fungi, animals and insects of all kinds: An unforgettable visit to our ancestors, that came to earth millions of years before us.
Launch of the website alongthelines.net
We, Eva Karczag and Bettina Neuhaus have just launched alongthelines.net , the bilingual digital version of our lecture performance Along the Lines , which we have been presenting and continuously developing in various contexts and formats since 2015.
Residency at REZI.DANCE
This summer we, Bettina Neuhaus, Roberta Legros and sound artist Matthieu Legros were offered a residency at REZI.DANCE in Komařice (CZ) to continue our working process for the performance THE PAGE. We are grateful for being offered this brilliant and inspiring place to dive into creation. What a great time we had!
