Bio
Mona Louisa-Melinka Hempel (all pronouns) is a dancer, choreographer, dance teacher, actress, perfomer, stage creator, anti-discrimination advisor for theatre contexts and institutions as well as installation artist, author, online content creator and singer in training (in chronological order).
After working 20+ years with a movement based artistic practice Mona faced the challenge to find new ways of exchange between performer and audience as well as new ways of performing when Covid19 hit.
Besides that, the question on how to capture ephemeral performance and dance moments in different analog medias as well as the focus on process, pleasure and choreography expanded Monas artistic practice and research.
Underlying Mona's artistic practice is an (always exercising) intersectional feminist infrastructure and activist claim.
