hannsjana (Berlin)
Biography:
hannsjana are a performance collective, a band and they produce performative audio tours. In their complex works they humorously, musically and scientifically penetrate concrete and abstract spaces to make themselves and their audience experienceable and explainable. In her last works hannsjana increasingly dealt with men and their domains. They sold shares in their performance, trained the audience as ornithologists, performed as boy bands and declared car tuning a socially acceptable queer practice.
Freischwimmen project:
DIE GROSSE M.I.N.T.-SHOW
In a performative laboratory that is simultaneously comedy, talk and game show, hannsjana confront the mechanisms of ostracisation within scientific disciplines. Why do comparably few women* study computer science? Which stereotypical and sexist views underlie the formulation ‘soft’ and ‘hard’ disciplines? In a scientific spectacle of empowerment and exchange, Die große M.I.N.T.-Show melts mounting fears and brings expert knowledge back down to earth.
Funded by the Capital City Culture Fund and the Senate Department for Culture and Europe.
Statement:
Looking back on it, the work made within the FREISCHWIMMEN network was invaluable. We were able to network with people and institutions from other countries, who would otherwise never have seen our work. What was especially great was the opportunity provided by residencies, with the support of the respective theaters, to just concentrate on work and rehearsing. This consequently added extra layers to our production and allowed us to hone its content.
