My name is Miriam Markl, born on 09.02.1992, currently based in Berlin, Germany. I studied dance in Nürnberg and Mannheim.

 

As a freelance movement artist, researcher, and creator in the field of dance, I perceive dance as a way to gain and share knowledge and understanding about myself, others, and the environment, including urban spaces, architecture, and nature. Through my performances, I aim to create spaces that foster new experiences of togetherness, revealing the interconnectedness and ever-changing relationships between things, people, and their environment.

 

I have presented my performances at venues such as: Reiss-Engelhorn Museums Mannheim, Kunsthalle Mannheim, Gasteig Munich, Alte Münze Berlin, KitKatClub Berlin, Heiliggeist Church Heidelberg, Nelimarkka Museum in Alajärvi, Finland, and Art Center Ahjo in Joensuu, Finland, Reykjavik Art Museum in Iceland among others.

 

As a dancer, I have collaborated with notable artists such as Lillian Stillwell, La_Trottier Dance, SmartMoves by Catherine Guerin, and Soundbody Productions. I have also been a guest dancer at Theater and Orchestra Heidelberg and Stuttgart State Opera.

 

As a dance educator, I share my movement practice both nationally and internationally in indoor and outdoor workshops. My education in Art/Life Process with Anna Halprin at the Tamalpa Institute (USA) and Body-Mind Centering at the Somatic Academy in Berlin feeds my practice, enhancing my ability to guide and inspire others.

 

I have been an Artist in Residence at: SÍM Residency and Dansverkstaedid in Reykjavik, Iceland; Tanztendenz Munich; EinTanzHaus Mannheim; Tempel Karlsruhe; Story Villa in Finland, among others.
