Julia Kannewischer

Statement

Julia Kannewischer is a dancer, writer and yoga teacher, who was born and raised in Switzerland. From an early age on expressing herself through movement and written language have come natural to Julia and are continuing to be necessities in her holistic approach to life. After graduation from High School 2011 Julia did her professional dance education in Copenhagen, Munich and Kassel (2011-2015). The following two seasons she was working full-time as a dancer in the contemporary dance company ‘Divadlo Studio Tanca’ in Banska Bystrica (SK). During her time in Munich, she discovered yoga at the age of 20, which led her to a daily practice. Establishing and maintaining her own practice has influenced the person and artist Julia has grown into and led her to do her yoga teacher training in 2017. During the last couple of years Julia has been living, teaching, creating in her hometown Zug and the surrounding centre of Switzerland, Düsseldorf (2018-2019) and Berlin (2020-March 2021).

GlogauAIR Project

Since January 2019 I have been writing a text and creating a videoperformance every day, then publishing the work online. The consistency is an essential aspect of the practice. What I live through and come in contact with influences my creative output. Questions I seek to find answers for during the time of this residency are: How can I bring this work to a wider audience? How can I make it more accessible? What are ways to make it a live experience? How can I place it more accurately in this world?
