LIFT Tanzkollektiv

A larger group of performers pose close together in front of a wall projection in neon colours – bright green, yellow, pink and blue suggest a sunset landscape. Some bodies are clearly visible while others blur in motion; in the front right a person lies on the floor and in the background overlapping body shadows rise behind them.

LIFT Tanzkollektiv (Liv Schellander, Irene Giró, Fia/Sophia Neises, Tanja Erhart) is a constellation of crip, queer, and migrant bodies committed to creating new narrative, experience-oriented and encounter spaces rooted in Aesthetics of Access. Emerging through collaboration and growing together, they share responsibilities according to resources, skills, and preferences, building sustainable structures within the performing arts. Their work centers multi-sensorial access, exploring performative practices with and without assistance that honor diverse perception styles. In the studio, they acknowledge the interdependence of bodyminds, tools, collaborators, access dramaturgies, invited artists such as Rita Mazza, as well as the temporalities of Crip Time.
