Introduction to the project:
A dancer and choreographer Valeriia Hereha plans to explore different approaches and forms of expression in the Ukrainian and German dance scene in her research in order to create a very novel and original form of synthesis of the two concepts.
Description of the project:
In her research of movement, Valeriia wants to work as much as possible with different choreographers, dancers and the dance community in Germany.
She would love to discover new things for her body and subconsciousness, to research it, to broadcast and share gained knowledge, especially in Germany, as she finds the education and the attitude to art a little bit different than in Ukraine.
Valeriia aims to reach the rather free transmission of performers’ and artists‘ ideas here. However, she also really enjoys the approach towards performance and arts in Ukraine, so she thinks it would be interesting to combine it all or find something of her own.
Lastly, Valeriia plans to continue to conduct movement research, because there is never a limit and one can always find something new for themselves, discover and create.
