Hannah Juliane Steenbeck

Hannah Juliane Steenbeck was born on October 4^th, 1993, and is based in Berlin, Germany.

Juliane has been training in many different movement styles since her childhood: from rhythmic gymnastics over house, salsa, breaking, popping and hip hop to contemporary dance. She is very interested in improvisation and unusual movement patterns, which she uses to find challenges in her choreographic and dance work.

From 2015 to 2018, she was a scholarship holder at the University of Applied Sciences for Contemporary and Urban Stage Dance in Zurich (Höhere Fachschule für Zeitgenössische und Urbanen Bühnentanz Zürich). Since graduating, Juliane has worked as a dancer in Germany and Switzerland with choreographers including Giorgio Madia, Shafiki Sseggayi, Béatrice Goetz and Joy Alpuerto Ritter. She is part of the Merge Dance Collective and the interdisciplinary collective zookunft.project.

Her own choreographic works were awarded second prize in the ‘Das beste deutsche Tanzsolo’ competition at the euro scene Leipzig festival in 2017, the audience prize in the LOFFT Theatre Leipzig short piece competition in 2018 and second prize in the tanzspeicher Würzburg solo competition in 2020, and were financially supported by the Tankstelle Luzern platform for young artists and Neustart Kultur Distanz Solo.
