LIFT Tanzkollektiv

The five performers stand, sit, and lie together as a group. L speaks and gestures, I listens attentively, R and F gaze into the distance, T glances at R with a smirk. Five white bodies are connected, linked together. Behind them, screens and beanbags, drenched in pink-purple light.

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.
