Alice Heyward
Alice Heyward is a dancer, choreographer, dramaturge and teacher from Australia living in Berlin. Her practice develops through diverse collaborations. Through movement-thought, she explores the production of embodied poetics. Her teaching of Klein Technique™ is grounded in an understanding of the body as an integral whole to maximise the individual’s unique movement potential. Artistic projects in 2023 include an exhibition by Adam Linder at MCA (Aus), dramaturgy for Lulu Obermayer’s ‘Lulu’ (Vienna) and touring works with Luisa Saraiva (Lisbon and Leuven) and Maria Hassabi (Bologna). In 2022, she created ‘Tributary’ at Klosterruine in Berlin, in collaboration with Maciek Sado and Oisín Monaghan, premiering and touring ‘Tirana’ with Luisa Saraiva as research partner and performer, ‘Cancelled’ with Maria Hassabi, and touring ‘Here’ with Hassabi. In 2020/21, she collaborated with Fanny Gicquel making ‘do you feel the same’, a performance installation in gallery and public space, and ‘Cry Carpet’ with Megan Payne and Jacqui Shelton and ‘Here’ with Hassabi. She is currently developing a new solo project exploring the figure of the banshee.
