Antonia Baehr

Antonia Baehr takes an interest in the rules and laws that a society – and more exactly a theatrical space – allots to bodies, so as to make them understandable and recognisable. Being also a performer, filmmaker and visual artist, this choreographer delves into the fiction of everyday life and of the theatre, at the limit of what defines us as being human. She does not just focus on the oppositions between the human and the animal, but also on what transpires from the space of any representation. She often collaborates with other artists (Neo Hülcker, Pauline Boudry & Renate Lorenz, Andrea Neumann, Latifa Laâbissi, William Wheeler or Valérie Castan), in a form favouring a changing of roles: from one project to the next, each artist becomes the host or the guest. She is also the producer of the horse whisperer and dancer Werner Hirsch, the musician and choreographer Henri Fleur, the composer Henry Wilt, and of the emergent composer of contemporary music and ex-husband, Henry Wilde.

“In the morning there is meaning, in the evening there is feeling.”
In this workshop, whose title comes from Gertrude Stein, the participants will be drawn into explorations of emotions, scores, instructions and incantations.
