Laura Sophie Faiß: Portrait einer Tänzerin unter Folie

I am an emerging choreographer and dance artist based in Berlin. My practice focuses on the narratives we construct to make sense of the world — how stories become collective myths and shape both our intimate lives and global realities.

I believe in storytelling as a political act. It creates understanding, builds community, and becomes a tool for resistance. As a dancer and performer, I translate oral histories into embodied gestures, using the body as an archive and a site of radical memory.
