Dabbling in everything physical from historical sword training, to dance across styles and ages, to circus arts, to mask performance, to martial arts and athletic training. She is also a singer who plays a variety of instruments and crafts original music. She is devoted to finding freedom and expression through the body and playful creation of art.

Vlad
Vlad Filitovich is an artist of the Utrovortu (en.utrovortu.com) multidisciplinary micro-community from Saint Petersburg, Russia. The community is represented by sound and visual artists, as well as performers who take part in festivals in Russia, France, Germany, Czech Republic and Scandinavian countries. Vlad has a background in modern dance and physical theater.
In the present time Vlad trains with Karakatitsa Movement Collective and uses butoh as his major dance/performing instrument. Vlad received butoh training from a Boston-based performance artist Sara June. He considers the expressive means of butoh as a visual language that provides for the artist and audience a way to work with individual crises.
Eva
As a theatre & movement practitioner, I work with collective stories that surface from communities. I am a playful teaching and facilitation artist who guides devised theatrical works to life. I coax these stories to emerge through avid play, inventive prompts, and heightening awareness towards other ensemble members, our communities, and ourselves.
Devising work from this holistic and improvisatory lens is paramount for me because it resembles the intricacies of life. In life, an abundance of complexity happens daily, which can be overwhelming and chaotic. However, with a shift in mindset, the chaos can transform into offers, a method of collaborative exchange. These exchanges, if activated, can change from patterns into dialogue, to stories, and possibly action. I practice this form of devising because when I release into an improvisatory spirit, I drop into the moment. I flow, and this energy that other ensemble members and I conjure initiates contagious collaborations to which I repeatedly return.
Here are a couple of my other collaborative projects.
If you love our work and would like to give us a few dollars in lieu of a ticket, we would greatly appreciate it!
