Katya Volkova is a dance artist whose practice is based on her interest in communal situations and shared social landscapes. She applies her educational background in Sonic Studies as well as her vast experience with street dance and contemporary dance to choreography of mutual support and empowerment, frames for interaction and exchange, moves of resistance and devotion. Since 2016 Katya has worked independently and in collaborations with other artists. Her performances were invited to Kleine Humboldt Galerie (Berlin), Faki International Festival of Performance Art (Zagreb), Darağaç Art Center (Izmir), My Wild Flag! Festival (Stockholm), Suoja/Shelter Festival (Helsinki), HELLERAU (Dresden). She presented her solo “in da chaos” at Voices festival (2023). Katya participated in the Atlas program (2023) and in DanceWEB program (2024) at Impulstanz Festival (Vienna).

Join us for an immersive movement workshop where the body becomes space for amplified voice and manifesting collective energy. In this dynamic experience movement will be transformed into a powerful language of communication. Through a playful and joyful journey, we will create a living landscape of expression, where individual and collective voices emerge through spontaneous choreography and rhythmic patterns. Contemporary electronic sound will be our guide, a trusted companion that enhances our exploration of rhythms and ritualization. Through this process, we'll craft unique bodily expressions and collectively develop choreographic codes, culminating in a collaborative score for a final, improvisational performance playground.
This workshop is an invitation to awaken social awareness, connect deeply with others, and celebrate the power of movement as a means of communication and expression.
