A Film on Motherhood & Creation

The film Both | And was created during the residency “Orbiting Your Own” 2025, by Uferstudios Berlin funded by Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion Berlin. It focuses on the simultaneity of motherhood and the existence as an artist, which the German dance landscape still treats as incompatible. You hear the voices of guests, invited throughout the residency as a voice-over, while the visual material shows the residents theirselves. The film premiered at spotlight Tanzfilm-Festival in Frankfurt am Main in 2026.
