VITA

Victoria Hauke works as a choreographer/dancer/performer based in Hamburg.
She is specially interested in exploring how energetic, somatic and sensory processses in the body are connected with an emotional quality of movement. This dance and performance work she sets up in dialog with art forms or areas of knowledge , which are not „dance“.

In this sense social and political aspects are important in her work, as well as the reflection of her artistic background in western contemporary dance.

Since 1999 she has repeatedly been realising projects in collaboration with visual artists. These works and installations were often created in the context of exihibitions, or in privat or public „not-theatre“ spaces like flats, empty shops, shop-windows, clubs or movie theatres.
From 1993 on she created about 45 pieces and installations, which were shown in national and international venues.
Victoria is teaching in festivals, institutions and unversities in Germany and abroad, in dance and intermedial courses of studies. She is teaching body-movement-space related subjects like „choreografic tools“, improvisation, composition, contemporary dance connected to release work and yoga.

Since 16 years she is practising Taijiquan and Qigong and she inlucdes the inspiration through these experiences in her work.
