Workshop with performance collective Henrike Iglesias: "My Dear Belly"
Thursday, March 24, 2022 9:00 am – 12:15 pm CET/GMT+1Factory Performance Space
BCB students are invited to join Nina Tecklenburg's class Postdramatic and Contemporary Theater in Berlin for an open workshop with the performance collective Henrike Iglesias.
“MY DEAR BELLY” - Theater collective Henrike Iglesias invites BCB students to a three-hour theatrical experiment involving sound, live video, writing and performance, using those tools to work on topics like beauty, body positivity and self-love. Malu and Marielle, two members of Henrike Iglesias, will do their best to rebuild a rehearsal space for our students, in which they can try out some of the strategies the collective has been using to generate scenes for their shows. Throughout the workshop the students will get the opportunity to perform themselves and/or support others in working on their scenes. No previous knowledge needed, only open minds and hearts.
The workshop will take place in the factory performance space. Participation is limited to a total of 14 students.
HENRIKE IGLESIAS, a theater collective based in Berlin and Basel, has been working together since 2012. Henrike’s permanent crew includes Anna Fries, Laura Naumann, Marielle Schavan, Sophia Schroth, Eva G. Alonso and Malu Peeters. They understand pop cultural and mass media phenomena as a mirror of social conditions and grievances and have made it their mission to illuminate them from feminist perspectives. Together and in smaller constellations, as well as with various collaborators they do performance theater, installations, parties and much more, if you ask.
MARIELLE SCHAVAN, born in Düsseldorf in 1991, has studied creative writing and Inszenierung der Künste und der Medien at the University of Hildesheim and now works as a performer, dramaturg and writer and also does social work.
MALU PEETERS, born in The Netherlands in 1984, studied Composition and Image & Sound at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague and makes (spatial) sound and music for performing arts, XR installations, radio and experimental film.
