bottom up productions & Isabela Fernandes Santana

bottom up productions is a structure founded by choreographers and dancers Julek Kreutzer and Felipe Fizkal. It aims to propose a process of de-hierarchizing the dynamics of contemporary dance production in Berlin. They evolve their artistic interests in relation to the practice of an independent choreographer, offering their bodies as producers, facilitators, and performers for the possibility of travelling through their creative universes and practices without them needing to take on production concerns. On the structure’s side, they allow themselves to sustainably share production tasks, giving themselves access to and continuity in their own dance practices, while also connecting with choreographers they would not otherwise have the opportunity to work with. This approach presents an innovative vision of how to develop contemporary dance productions in Berlin.

Isabela Fernandes Santana is a dancer, choreographer and teacher from São Paulo based in Berlin and Paris. She was a Danceweb participant at ImPulsTanz Festival in 2017 and was selected for DANCE HUB Berlin as part of the European project Life Long Burning. Her current solo project is co-produced by ICI–CCN de Montpellier – Occitanie. As a dancer, she has recently collaborated with Calixto Neto / VOA (FR); Michelle Moura (DE); Meg Stuart / Damaged Goods (DE/BE) and Volmir Cordeiro / Donna Volcan (FR).
