Heike Bröckerhoff

Heike Bröckerhoff works as a dance dramaturge and performance artist in Germany and France. She studied Media and Cultural Studies in Düsseldorf, Philosophy in Nantes and completed her M.A. in Performance Studies in Hamburg. Dance appeals to her as an exploratory activity that deals with bodies in the context of socio-political issues. She therefore enjoys collaborating with artists who are interested in non-human beings, choreographic processes and sensitive practices in dealing with resources. After a decade based in Hamburg and many independent projects at Kampnagel and K3, she moved to Hanover. Here she most recently initiated the performance series ‘Sargasso Sea’, which deals with artistic recycling processes and was inspired by an algae. In addition to her artistic work, she develops formats that promote dialogue between artists and audiences. She co-hosts the radio programme – PLATEAU with Juliana Oliveira on FSK and is currently working on a series of audio features about actors in Lower Saxony’s independent dance scene (Freie Tanzszene Niedersachsen).
