Lo Höckner (they/them) is deeply interested in bodies and their transformative potential through new relations. As a choreographer and performance artist, who is mainly working in the context of expanded choreography, their practice explores temporary community-building in dance, somatic as well as artificial intelligences, and site-specific explorations. Currently, they focus on the connection of embodied social justice and art, exploring new forms of participation and choreographing attention.
They’re engaged in dance projects for cultural participation such as Moving Kids in a refugee camp, or several cooperations with „Eucrea - Verband Kunst und Behinderung e.V.“. Furthermore they’re practitioner of the trauma resolution modality „Somatic Experiencing®“ (in training) and the touch-based bodywork „Pantarei“, passionately training in the martial arts form Muay Thai and initiator of the Embodied Social Justice Learning Circle.
Their work was shown at Ballhaus Ost Berlin, K3/Kampnagel Hamburg, PAF Performing Arts Festival Berlin, Balance Club/Culture Festival Leipzig, Out Now! Bremen, Galerie Wedding. Lo studied Performance Studies (M.A.), Theatre, Film and Media Studies (Dipl.) and Philosophy in Hamburg, Vienna and Lyon with a focus on Gender- and Queer Studies.
