dancer artist and teacher
media researcher
Tania was born in Tchita (Transbaikal Region, Russia) in 1994. In 2003, she began dancing, and since then, dance has defined all her activities, curiosity, and interests.
She works with adults, children, and teenagers in the genres of performance, musical theater, and dance theater, and also gives lectures and conducts experimental media workshops on the physical aspect of media space. Since 2021, she has been involved in artistic fencing, staging combat choreography, and performing as a motion capture artist. Since 2023, she has been living and working in Frankfurt am Main.
Important aspects of her teaching practice are the safety of space and environment and the task of guiding rather than imposing artistic practices through composition, improvisation, and play.
