Sophie Sengle (she/her or none) is a freelance dance artist based in Hanover. Following the principle of “Rehearse the social world we want to be part of”, she uses dance and performance to collaborate with different communities and individuals. Her work deals with individual and collective body experiences, exploring the political dimension of micro movements. It draws on embodiment, body as archive, bodily memory, non-human co-existence, fantasy, voice, physical experience and touch.
Sophie holds a BA in Special Education and Art (Leibniz Universität Hannover) and a state-approved professional degree as a contemporary stage dancer (Sozo vim in Kassel). She has collaborated with Janina Rohlik, Ahlam Dirani, Franziska Ullrich, Taiat Dansa, Annamarie Keskinen and Regina van Berkel among others.
