Emka<\/strong> lebt und tanzt in Leipzig und ist tief verbunden mit der Contact Improvisation Community. Seit 2007 organisiert Emka Festivals \u2013 darunter das CI Festival Leipzig \u2013, gibt CI-Workshops und veranstaltet regelm\u00e4\u00dfige Jams. Die Tanzpraxis wurde auf zahlreichen internationalen Festivals geteilt und verfeinert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die k\u00fcnstlerische Forschung kreist um Konsens und Einvernehmlichkeit: Wie k\u00f6nnen wir durch achtsame, konsensbasierte Kommunikation Tanz und zwischenmenschliche Begegnungen bereichern und transformieren?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weitere Schwerpunkte sind Genderfragen, das Schreiben utopischer Fiktionen, Inklusion, das Tanzen mit uns als Familien, interdisziplin\u00e4re Kunstpraxis und Community-Entwicklung. Emka hat einen M.A. in Sozialwissenschaften und befindet sich aktuell in der Ausbildung zur Systematischen Beratung.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
