Ioanna Loup

Statement

Ioanna Loupasaki (she/her) is a performer, dancer and medical doctor from Athens, Greece based in Berlin, Germany. Her multidisciplinary practices focus on embodied movement practices, video, text, poetry and healing through art therapy. Her work focuses on the human body both as anatomy and a system of movement and e-motions and using the body as a material. She reflects on the way we look on things and how this is translated in our brain bringing the science of vision into performance lectures. Moreover, drawing from a very personal grief and mourning experience, Ioanna questions the nature of society’s separation from grief, while attempting to bring to the forefront a more visible, colourful, and vivid expression of mourning and loss as a part of everyday life.

She is currently studying in the Academy of Fine Arts Munich, in the class of new media (Professor Rosefeldt). She also facilitates regularly community movement sessions ‘’Express Express‘‘ where she blends dance, art, play, writing and imagination.
