Art Direction and Design for 'DIVINE LOVE ELECTRIC' by Hana Lee Erdman in collaboration with Allison Lorenzen. Premiered 8 january 2014 at Tanztage in Sophiensaele Berlin.

From the program: "DIVINE LOVE ELECTRIC (DLE) is a New Spiritual Movement seeking to inspire universal inspiration and love and happiness. Founded in 2013 to encompass a way of life, DLE integrates devotional practices, ritual, spiritual and corporal teachings to inspire others to experience the fullness of their potential and truest selves. Endowed with an entourage of devotees, the Movement has attracted followers and contributors, including acclaimed designer Michiel Keuper, who, employing sacred mathematics, transformed The Kantine into a temporary Ashram. This week the co-founders perform an original soundtrack of luminous dream pop while directing internalized spiritual journeys and ritual communal actions."

Concept, Direction, Performance - Hana Lee Erdman, Allison Lorenzen / Design, Art Direction - Michiel Keuper / Dramaturgy - Ruairí Donovan / Temple Drummer, Spiritual Brother - Laurent Lavolé / Devotees - Louise Trueheart, Agnė Auželytė

Costumes for 'DARK MATERIAL' a collaboration by choreographer Jeremy Wade  and performer Maria F. Scaroni, visual artist Monika Gzrymala and indie avant-gardist Jamie Steward aka Xiu Xiu and Shayna Dunkelman. Commissioned by International Sommer Festival Kampnagel, Hamburg and Donau festival Krems. Premiere 8 august 2013.


From the press release: "(...) Together these specialists of different fields are working on experimental spatial drawings with various black materials. The work is inspired by Gzrymala's epic signature paper tape drawings that have been exhibited worldwide, producing diagrams of sensations, desires and affections. Wade and Scaroni enter a grotesque/queer/gothic pas de deux about human attachments and dependencies, proximity and distance, and the endurance, with which one turns towards the object of desire, even if it hurts."
