Andrea Kreisel hat 2021 ihre Grundausbildung in Tanz, Improvisation und Performance bei bewegungs-art freiburg e.V. abgeschlossen. Seitdem ist sie dem Verein (nicht nur) durch ihre Arbeit als Projektkoordinatorin verbunden. Als Tänzerin, Improvisationskünstlerin, Performerin und Dozentin für Tanz und Improvisation ist sie seit ihrem Studium der Kulturreflexion an der Universität Witten/Herdecke in diversen Projekten tätig. Sie kreiert eigene kleine Auftrittsformate mit Improvisation, Tanz, Musik und Sprache, die sie in Freiburg und auf nationalen Festivals zeigt. Seit 2022 ist sie Teil der Improvisationsgruppe findings unter der Leitung von Lilo Stahl. Neben dem Tanz verfolgt Andrea Kreisel auch ihre Fähigkeiten im Schreiben, die sie bei einer Frankfurter Zeitschrift nach dem Studium erworben hat. Andrea Kreisel fühlt sich in der Vielfalt des Lebens Zuhause und bringt sich gerne, wo sie kann, kreativ-gestalterisch ein.

After receiving her BA in Anthropology (Smith College, USA), she returned to dance in 2013.
She studied and worked in New York, Spain and Germany, and graduated from TIP -School for Dance, Improvisation and Performance (2017 Freiburg). She is co-founder of Quizzical Körper – a dance theater collective focused on improvisation, performing in Germany and abroad.
Her choreographic work is informed by her interest in the expressive potential of the body in relation to space and sound, as well as how to create a sensory resonance with the audience.
In her classes, she imparts a deep, anatomical understanding combined with precise movement patterns. She blends the boundaries between technique and improvisation/exploration to open a space where dancers experience different movement principles to learn to move with grace, ease, and expressiveness.

She is also a certified Pilates Mat instructor and Mindfulness practitioner.

Movement & theatre educator (BuT), Psychologist MA
Since completing his training in dance, improvisation and performance at bewegungs-art at the beginning of the millennium, he has worked as a freelance dance artist. He is Co-founder of the improvisation group Arte-Schoki and of k²-koreografenkollektiv freiburg. Since 2003 he produced and directed short and full-length dance- and theatre-pieces and took part in children’s and youth theater pieces at SpielRaum Freiburg. He directed musical & theatre productions with teenagers.

He is active as lecturer in motion, body and dance at the PH and EH Freiburg and as co-leader of the theatre-pedagogical education of TPZ BW in Freiburg.

His focus is on the creative approach to and dealing with the potential for movement of one’s own physicality, the unrestricted exploitation of the potential of one’s own personality in stage art and, above all, in the great art of composition of the moment in improvisation.

Since 2014 she has been creating full-length dance performances under the label DAGADA (dagada.dance).
In her work, she moves with particular interest at the intersection of shame and beauty, researching states of the human being that cannot be clearly grasped and about which we do not (want to) speak.
As a teacher she always combines technical elements from contemporary dance with an artistic view and integrates the perception of the body as a whole as an important performative element.
Karolin shares her very own choreographic approach to fixing material (from improvisations) by understanding what emerges as rhythm and deepening what is fixed by means of movement qualities. In specific exercises she shows the possibilities of playing with choreographic elements in space, time and different constellations within the group.

Before pursuing dance as a profession, Zina studied music and movement pedagogics at the Musikhochschule in Trossingen and at the Kungliga Högskolan in Stockholm. She went on to complete the TIP programme in 2013, after which she began an intensive collaboration with Louisa Jacobs and the company OFFSPACE / Kassel. Most recently she has been performing in works of Bruce Nauman, Alexandra Pirici and Maximilian Bauer.
Her current I is interested in echoes of small movements and how one movement speaks to an other movement. She wonders about the beginning and the end of a movement and is interested in the connections between the body and the mind. Her choreografic works treat questions about the relationship between power, language and identity and stage thinking as a viszeral matter. Her latest choreografic works are «April`19» and «form.alie»- displaced in the classical black box of Südufer Freiburg.

After completing her education as a dancer at bewegungs-art, she co-founded the dance collective Quizzical Körper, whose main focus is improvisation and which has performed at festivals in Germany and abroad.

The latest productions she worked on were ¨In uns bewegt¨ and ¨Erbkoordinationen¨. Irene Carreño´s choreographic work is characterized by surrealistic moving images and is produced in the form of short and full-length dance pieces as well as site-specific work. In recent years she has specialized in the accompaniment and choreographic support of young creators. She co-curates the format ¨tanzwuchs¨ in Freiburg and the impro-platform ¨onCe Festival¨.

Her teaching focuses on the anatomy of the human body, the refinement of the senses and how one perceives sensory impressions when stimulated. Her sessions are characterized by floor work, Body Mind Centering and dance improvisation.
