CURATOR | DRAMATURG | MENTOR<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Heike Albrecht works as a curator in the interdisciplinary programme area of the performing arts, with a focus on contemporary dance and performance.
\nHer work focuses on intentions and interactions that translate \/ keep translatable the concreteness of the body. Aspects of contemporary history and urban space developments within a changing society and its communities are connected in order to negotiate them artistically. The integration of dance studies, body history and the reflection of image cultures also play a central role. In Walking Acts, she developed a photographic practice to reflect on the transience of the present and the loss of cultural artefacts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
