IRENA Z. TOMAŽIN + JULE FLIERL – Sophiensæle | Freies Theater in Berlin

JULE FLIERL studied contemporary dance at SEAD-SALZBURG as well as choreography at EXERCE Montpellier and has worked as a dancer with Bryan Campbell, Martin Nachbar, Ibrahim Quarishi, Gintersdorfer/Klaßen, Sergiu Matis, Tino Sehgal and Meg Stuart, among others. Flierl works with a somatic voice method, the "Lichtenberger Method", which explores through anatomy and imagination in relation to high frequencies and pre-musical tones. The friction between her training in diverse contemporary dance techniques and her vocal training paved the way for Flierl's choreographic works that explore voice as dance. STÖRLAUT (2018) reflects her research on Valeska Gert's sound dances of the 1920s. She is currently working with choreographer Antonia Baehr on the edit for the film Die Hörposaune.

IRENA Z. TOMAŽIN is a dancer, experimental singer and philosopher working in the experimental theater and music context. Her work has been the subject of analysis by Bojana Kunst (The voice of the dancer) and Sophie Herr (Geste de la voix et théatre du corps), among others, and her writings on vocal philosophy have been published in various art publications. She has released three albums: Crying Games, Taste of Silence and Lump in the throat. Her work is a consistent exploration of the non-linguistic voice as a medium in corporeal performance.
