SPRING Academy Trajectories: Embodiment & Physical Knowledge with Katja Heitmann

How do you embody the physicality of someone else? How close can you come to understanding it? Do you need to set aside your own opinion and interpretation? Let’s get into topics touching on empathy, embodiment and transferral of knowledge though physicality. Hosted by Katja Heitmann.

Host

Katja Heitmann (1987, DE) works at the intersection of dance, visual art, performance, and installation. Her choreographic and visual work explores what moves humans in today’s world. Heitmann’s work is marked by a strong aesthetic that contrasts with human fallibility. Her minimalist visual language confronts the viewer with a vast sea of insights, creating a tension that continually emerges throughout her work.
