I am a dance historian working in and through research, curatorial theory projects, teaching and dance/perfromance dramaturgy. In all of these practices, the principles guiding my work are constant learning and unlearning, pluralising partial perspectives, interrogating the impacts of format on thought and ideas, negotiating strategic choices within ethical positionings, and understanding aesthetics as cultural markers.
I am currently employed as theory curator at Tanzquartier Wien and post-doctoral researcher at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.
Upcoming (selection):
1 June, Radio (non-)conference: along with Netta Weiser, I am hosting an all-day radio event with talks, readings, performances and workshops broadcasting polyphonic, multiple voices. Free, durational, ephemeral. Broadcasting live from 11.00 to 19.00 EET on stegi.radio and reboot.fm. With Avery Gordon, Fotini Stamatelopoulou, Maayan Sheleff, Arkadi Zaides, Eleni Mylona, Eliana Otta, Sanem, MediSouP, Larissa Araz, Meltem Ahiska and Anna Bromley.
15 June, Tanzquartier Wien, ‘Bad Ballet’: after a four-hour (bad) ballet masterclass by Andrew Champlin, Elizabeth Ward & Kevin Fay including a twist on the Nutcracker, I am giving a talk on ballet as entertainment spectacle and pop culture. Open, free, sweaty, campy.
