Backbone Berlin

During 2022 Backbone was hosted by Barbara Greiner and Sarah Parolin, and joined by 19 practitioners from the Berlin dance scene: Agata Siniarska, Alice Chauchat, Angela Alves, Clement Layes, Giulia Messia, Gretchen Belgen, Ixchel Mendoza Hernandez, Jared Gradinger, Julia Rodriguez, Kasia Wolinska, Lea Moro, Louise Trueheart, Manon Parent, Maria F. Scaroni, Olympia Bukkakis, Roni Katz, Sheena McGrandles, Siegmar Zacharias, and Xenia Taniko. The platform organized and coordinated four meetings over the course of the year, dedicated to questioning, analyzing and discussing the following topics: INDIVIDUAL PRACTICES (how do we work, what do we need, how do we plan, how do we activate), ETHICS (what are the values and politics leading our working environment, how to account for fairness, asymmetries, ecology and sustainability), GOVERNANCE (how information flows, who is accountable, hierarchies, how do we come to decisions, how do we share, if we share, responsibility, how do we evaluate our actions), and RESOURCES (bodies, finances, time, knowledge, tools).
