Rike Fläming

Rike Fläming is a performer and dance educator specialising in documentary work and site-specific projects involving young people and contemporary witnesses. Whilst her own artistic practice reimagines feminist utopias and develops site-specific performances, her work in dance education creates opportunities for encounters between young people and contemporary witnesses, the past and the present, political education and dance. The youth dance project Exodus Reloaded was awarded Best Project by EUROPEANS FOR PEACE, and gethsemane ’89 – a dance encounter between young people and contemporary witnesses on the events of autumn ’89 – was funded by the Bundeszentrale für Politische Bildung. Her documentary dance film Disruptions, featuring Felipe Frozza, has been screened in Kyoto, Cairo, Amsterdam, Helsinki and Ankara, and won first prize in the Human Rights category at the Festival International Corporalidad Expandida in Buenos Aires. Performances have taken place at venues including the Goethe-Institut Budapest and the Sophiensaele in Berlin.
