Movement & Dance Explorer

Janina Rohlik is exploring matters that make her move, think, dance, resist, write, protest, perform... She loves to share her practice with others in workshops or collective researches, as in her feminist performance/art collective donna’s gym. Janina’s work is informed by poetry, different dance improvisation techniques and dancing the night away. That is how she explores the body as a place of social negotiation of power, but also probes possible empowerments and resistances. Since 2009 Janina presented several performances with donna’s gym, most recently donnagrollen – ein Wutjahrmarkt (2019). She shared her solo work and researches at different occasions as at the Explosive Festival (Bremen 2019). Janina holds a diploma in Applied Cultural Sciences and has been an attendee in different programs for dance & performance. Janina strongly believes in the power of dance to transform power structures and hierarchies, which is part of her current research.
