Vasiliki Bara
Greek-born dancer and choreographer Vasiliki Bara studied dance studies at the Free University of Berlin.
In 2019, she completed her Master's degree with a thesis on the perception of the disabled body in contemporary dance and presented her first works.
In 2023, she choreographed the piece ‘Lust’ for the company of Leipziger Tanztheater, which was performed at Schaubühne Lindenfels and WERK 2.
In 2024/25 she is part of the Artist Development Programme at LOFFT - DAS THEATER. She was last seen at the Schaubühne as a performer in the production ‘Das Kafkahaus’, directed by René Reinhardt.
Inside Human
Workshop
In this workshop Vasiliki shares performative and choreographic tools and materials that emerged from the process of creating the piece inside human.
In the workshop, participants will explore grotesque and fluid concepts of the body and explore creaturely qualities of movement. ‘inside human’ searches for identity in a world characterised by confusion and fragmented realities. Who are we really and which self do we present to the world?
With the idea that every person carries a creature within them, the participants oscillate between human and creaturely forms. Skin merges with skin, the boundaries of the body blur, their forms become fluid and their limbs seem alien.
This research emphasises the discrepancy between being and appearance: between what we perceive and what is real. It sharpens our view of the great unknown that we ourselves are.
Inside human is a production by Vasiliki Bara in cooperation with Schaubühne Lindenfels and 4fT - Tanzplattform Leipzig e.V. Supported by the Cultural Office of the City of Leipzig. Vasiliki Bara is part of the Artist Development Programme 2024/2025 of LOFFT - DAS THEATER.
The workshop will take place on the 5th of October from 11 am to 1 pm. Participation in the workshop is free of charge for people who have a ticket for one of the performances of ‘inside human’ on the 10th, 11th and 12th of October at the Schaubühne Lindenfels.
