Elena Lach
Elena Lach (they/she) lives in Vienna and works as a performer, personal assistant and director’s assistant. They research the queer use of public spaces under the name of SPACE HOLDER, helping neurodivergent people to access queer parties, so far at flucc and 4lthangrund. As part of the Careful Collisions Collective, Elena Lach designs queer movement spaces for contact improvisation. They love questions and non-verbal communication and practice social idiosyncrasy as a survival strategy and a way to conduct relationships.
