Kein Problem. Gerne.
An ongoing project

This is a choreographic project with fellow dance artist and classical singer, Sarah Heberling.
The 20 minute piece is called 'Kein Problem. Gerne.' which in English translates to 'No worries. Gladly.'
The project “Kein Problem. Gerne.” explores the ambivalence between the ease of small talk and the underlying human need for connection.
Movements emerge from everyday gestures and mimetic fragments of conversation: a nod, a wave, a polite smile. These gestures are exaggerated, alienated, rhythmicised and choreographically condensed in order to break automated sequences of actions and create a new awareness.
The piece moves between superficiality and depth, loneliness and closeness, humor and tragedy. It shows how thin the line is between genuine connection and pure convention—and invites the audience to smile at the absurdity and, at the same time, the humanity of our everyday communication.


In March 2026 we completed our first residency with 4fT- Tanzplattform Leipzig during the development of our piece.
