    PEERS Programme

    About

    PEERS is a new pre-PhD programme of the Department of Performing Arts and Film. Its main aim is to support emerging artistic researchers who are interested in pursuing a doctorate in the arts, foremost yet not exclusively in the performing arts and film.

    Participants 2021

    Alexandre Achour,
    a choreographer and performer in the contemporary independent dance scene. With his research, Alxandre is interested in examining dance and its tremendous diversity and approach to public, with the aim to create a pluricultural landscape of local dance practices.

    Andrew Champlin,
    a contemporary performer, choreographer, and ballet researcher based in Berlin. For his artistic research, Andrew seeks to create a compendium of ballet technique, which takes shape in a digitally interactive manual of critical pedagogy

    Setareh Fatehi,
    a Teheran and Amsterdam based choreographer, working with dance as a socialising practice and gaze as a choreographic tool. In her current research, Setareh works with Parallax as an ability to see two or more images at once, to provoke a feeling of absence or confusion in what is actually present.

    Rahel Kesselring,
    a scenographer and cultural scientist working in various constellations in the context of performance, theatre and installation. Rahel's research project is a search for the autonomy, self-efficacy, vulnerability and resilience of environments, landscapes and territories.

    a queer performance artist who works within different contexts of the performing and visual arts, and as author and director of radio plays. Hendrikโ€˜s research-project is dedicated to chronic, invisible diseases and their relationship to humorous representations in contemporary performing arts and society.

    Tabea Rothfuchs,
    a scenographer who has been creating media scenographies and interactive installations for dance, performance and musical theatre productions internationally for over ten years. Her artistic research focuses on the topic of chronic pain, based on an artistic residency in a pain clinic as well as conversations with chronic pain patients.
