little things
Classes
coffee in the morning
a hug
a long walk at the beach
invisible pianos around me
a kiss
butterflies in my belly
sharing foods and laughter
being a kid
sun on my face
a warm bed at night
_ ARTISTIC STATEMENT
_ BIOGRAPHY
Milena Sundari Nowak (she/her) is a freelance dancer and choreographer from Berlin, Germany, and a member of the interdisciplinary collective Zookunft.Project.
Since November 2021 Milena has been exploring her own movement motivations in relation to loss, grief and pain in the context of suicide. Her last solo "friedhofen (verb)", in english comparable to “to graveyard (verb)”, premiered in October 2022 in Berlin. From this process arose the desire to experience a different kind of creation. In her current research at BIG BANG, Milena’s newest works explore themes of lightness and joy.
So far her work has been funded by the Jewish Museum Berlin, DIS-TANZ-SOLO, A.PART, GVL, Fonds Soziokultur/Jonge Kunst and Theater Na de Dam.
