Vera Shchelkina

Choreographer, dance artist, somatic movement facilitator (graduate of SAB), master student of MA Choreography at HZT, Hochschule für Schauspielkunst “Ernst Busch”), facilitator and organizer for professional and non-professional dance and performance workshops and programs.

Her main artistic interests are: The human being as a totality of environments and states, touch as a gateway to the diversity of the body, perception as an instrument of movement, form as a breathing pause of movement, composition of movement, perception, and physical states, body as a transpersonal experience. In the last two years, her research has focused on the embryo and death (and their connection) in the context of dance and performance.

Her main dance and performance projects (solo and collaborative) are: “CO-TOUCH”, ‘The Imposture Lab’, ‘SMRTъ’, ‘Vibrant matter’, ‘Unplanting the seeds of hatred’, ‘Witnessing it all happening for the last time’ and others.
