Hand made

Commissioned by MiR Dance Company

​

Hand Made was created as a site-specific dance piece for the Kunstmuseum Gelsenkirchen and later became a dance film. The work looks at the mechanisms of our society and the ways we constantly influence one another—losing our sense of individuality to become part of a larger machine, where success is only possible through collaboration.

​

At its core lies the action of “manipulation.” Through the hands as the motor of interaction, the piece explores how touch can direct, transform, and give intention. The choreography unfolds as a sculptural dialogue between brain and body, self and other—revealing manipulation as both constructive and destructive, conscious and unconscious. Hand Made becomes a reflection on power, vulnerability, and the art of creating together.
