Episode 2: Digital Dances. Start touching those toes, because we are in the dance studio today with Carly Lave, an American choreographer and dancer based in Berlin. Her work seeks to question the self and personal subjectivity through movement, specifically in a female body, pulling on aesthetics of contemporary ballet. She holds a BA in American Studies and Dance from Stanford University where she trained with Alex Ketley, Robert Moses, Bobbi Jene Smith, Diane Frank and Muriel Maffre among others. She was a 2018-2019 US Fulbright Fellow to Germany (in residency with Tanzfabrik Berlin) developing dance with motion-capture technology and Virtual Reality. Her work furthers the human engagement with technology, pushing the boundary of what dance can reveal about the human condition in the 21st century.
Currently she is developing an international dance workshop series titled Golem-Labor with the Goethe Institute which works with motion capture technology and movement. Her work has been commissioned by the Maxim Gorki Theater Berlin, shown at Uferstudios and Tanzfabrik Berlin; she has also given lectures on art+tech at the Republica Digital Technology conference, and Stanford University, Cottbus Technical University, Lüneberg University, and Humboldt Universität zu Berlin. She previously worked in San Francisco, California, where her work appeared in theatres including ODC San Francisco, the San Francisco Conservatory of Dance, and the Joe Goode Annex.

Episode 4: The Writing Life. Welcome to a very cozy episode of In Process, as we settle down with Patty Kim Hamilton, and venture into the uncertain limbos -- as wells as the heavens -- of poetry and playwriting. A playwright, director-dramaturg, pisces and performance-maker, Patty is currently completing her masters in Playwriting at the University of the Arts, Berlin. She received her Bachelors with Honors from Stanford University, where she was the recipient of the Sherifa Omade Edoga Prize for Work Addressing Social Issues. She has worked at Playwrights Horizons, Crowded Fire, HAU, the English Theater Berlin, Ars Nova and with Gob Squad.
As Playwright-in-Residence in 2019 at the Shakespeare Academy at Stratford, CT, she developed her play ‘Peeling Oranges’. Her play ‘ICH HÄTTE GERN ZU MEINER LEBZEIT KEIN KRIEG (I don't wanna experience war)’ will premiere at Stadttheater Bremerhaven, June 2021 (delayed due to COVID). Her play 'when it hurts // this body is just a house' was a semi-finalist for the 2020 Eugene O'Neill Playwrights Conference and was selected for Cimientos 2021 Play Development Program. Her play ‘Sex Play’ will have a staged reading in October 2020 at the HfMT in Hamburg. Her work exists at the intersection of the intimate and the political - meditating on bodies, family, language and the taboo. Through her writing, she attempts to facilitate communal healing, honest/transformative reflection and joy.

We kick Season 2 off with Emelie Victoria, a photographer and visual anthropologist investigating human and non-human relationships in Swedish forests. Emelie leads us through the ethical woods of working with different communities and introduces us to the term correspondence. Developed by anthropologist Tim Ingold from his work with the indigenous Sámi people, correspondence refers broadly to the idea of reciprocity and shared exchange within any sort of relationship: I give, you give, we change together. In the context of an art practice, this gives rise to intriguing possibilities such as conceiving of art as an act of gift-giving. Join us for a cozy and deeply-felt return to 2025 that will be of particular interest to any listeners considering an MFA, collaboration or artistic research.

Artist Biography
Emelie Victoria is a photographer, researcher and multimedia storyteller currently based in Sweden. She was born 1997 in Edeby, Värmland in Sweden, but now the regions around Klarälven, Zambezi and Thames all feel like some sort of home. They like learning, relating, doing and undoing through explorative exchange and ethnography. Climate justice, critical and queer ecology, (sub)cultures, regenerative methods, care and belonging are some themes she likes to write and work around. They have worked in-house with content, campaigns and reporting for Amnesty International Sweden and United Nations Development Programme Zimbabwe. Having achieved an MA in Visual Anthropology from Goldsmiths University, London, she is now approaching film and photography as a means to do research about their surroundings and tell stories with depth, contradiction and nuance.

Episode 3: Engineering The Sonic Zone. We're off to the ears today with Anna Tskhovrebov, an experimental musician among other things such as audio engineer at Ableton, live visuals programmer, and avid bird-listener. Anna graduated from Stanford in 2018 with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, and an M.A. in Music, Science, and Technology. She moved continents to Berlin, to work alongside Robert Henke on designing the graphics for his retro-futuristic audiovisual show, CBM 8032 AV, before settling in to program instruments and effects at music software company Ableton. Anna also composes her own music under the name viewfinder, sampling unexpected and haunting sounds from our everyday environments, and putting them in conversation with each other in funky, IDM-inspired soundscapes.
