Clara Federica Crescini, born in Italy, she studied diverse dance techniques and movement related practices in Milano, Vienna and Berlin. Since ten years she has been cultivating her enormous curiosity for movement and creation by meeting the research of Cinzia Delorenzi, Teatro delle Moire, Eva Karkzag, Compagnia Nut, Bruno Caverna, Lisa Nelson, David Zambrano and lately FM practice among others. In Berlin she performed in projects of Anna Nowicka, Jan Burkhardt and Idan Ioav among others. During the last few years she has been busy with questions regarding collective decision making and the development of horizontal structure in artistic practice. She is dealing with themes regarding sensual feelings and feminism working with her Drag Queen persona Gladys. In her last solo work “Hommage” she opens up the topic of social structures in juxtaposition to the invisible world of feelings and the human capacity for transformation.
Alica Minarova, born in Slovakia, studied Financial mathematics as well as Choreography in Prague. As an exchange student, she spent one year at La Manufacture in Lausanne. In the past years she has been dealing with topics like sharing of intimacy, public nudity, feeling of not belonging and never arriving. Lately, she shifted her attention towards nature with her last piece 'What Water Was'. Her pieces are described as visual movement poems, where the bizarre meets serious.
