Elena Lach (they/she) lives in Vienna and works as a performer, personal assistant and facilitator. They research transformative potentials of site-specific performance in public spaces and co-organised the critical lecture *series Imagining Better Worlds: Enacting Insurgent Feminist Futures* (University of Vienna 2025/26). Her work centers queer, neurodivergent and disabled communities be it at parties, in the theatre or at contact improvisation jams. They love questions and non-verbal communication and practice social peculiarity as a survival strategy and a way to conduct relationships. In the autumn of 2025, Elena Lach, together with Ema Benčíková, hosted a workshop *Spacing in: Relaxed Performance Lab for autistic and neuroqueer people* as part of accessible brut.
