shaping pleasure

A.PART Festival ... macht Radau. | ada Studio in den Uferstudios

Production Details / Press Releases

The smallest movement in the body, major feelings
Moving air through space, the air is palpable
Active calmness in calming tiredness
Listening to my ears melt together with my voice
Letting body be
Receiving the security of joyful vibration under my skin without feeling shame
Transforming the honesty of anger
What do I have to learn to meet you?
We want to rest in deconstruction
Therefore we pleasure our freedom

“shaping pleasure” is an exploration of pleasure in two bodies, approaching it on an emotional, societal, and physical level.

Oli Fierz was born in 1999 in Basel and started training in freestyle dance when they were nine years old. After competing in hip hop competitions for ten years they decided to take a break from the commercial dance world and since 2021 they have been enrolled at motion*s Berlin. Their focus is on improvisation and on how movement is embedded in contradictory societal structures.

Sointu Pere is a freelance dancer and performer based in Berlin. She studied cultural management in Helsinki and holds a BA in Culture and Arts. In 2021 she completed the Dance Intensive Program at Tanzfabrik Berlin. Most recently, she has performed at Sophiensaele Berlin and at Impulstanz Vienna. Her approach to movement is influenced by improvisation, somatics, and instant composition with a focus on exploring political and emotional intersections between race, gender, and societal structures.
