2011/2012

Live Doku Performance is a live-streaming mobile video feed at large festivals and events, presenting at the interstection between reportage and interactive performance. This not only to provide documentation of an event, but also to interact with it, creating a performative experience for the viewer and the event itself. The streaming video is viewable online as well as in the central meeting point of the festival, for participants and visitors to experience live what is happening in other parts of the festival. This has been presented at two events:

Human Rights Lab/DMY Festival (June, 2012)
Makerplatz/Beta Festival (September, 2011)

2012 / Katerholzig, Berlin

Per Aspera Productions (performers Brina Stinehelfer and Francesca Romana Ciardi) was commissioned to present a memorable performance to compliment the screening of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s controversial film, ‘THE HOLY MOUNTAIN’. Bizarre, grotesque scenarios filled with religious and sacrilegious imagery complimented the exclusive screening and afterparty organized by Berlin Film Society.

2012 / LEAP Gallery

An interactive durational performance by Brina Stinehelfer in collaboration with and response to “TRACE” a mixed exhibition of multimedia, digital, interactive installations.  What traces are left when the human body and the digital one overlap, intertwine, collide? What happens in the spaces where we co-exist? Where is the divide where one body ends and another begins?

2011 / Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Transmediale, Berlin

This performance installation was presented at the Transmediale Festival at Haus der Kulturen der Welt as part of the kom.post collective’s offering of mini-performances and micro-conferences in the Open Zone of the festival.  With Connection Box, the spectator is given the opportunity to have a unique intimate connection with a stranger in a far away land- through Skype.

2010 / K Salon, Berlin

Danger (safety). Love (hate). And no way out. You can find me there.  Fire, ice, confinement, and shortness of breath. Will you reach out to me? The performer situates herself in a doorway, confined in plastic, with ice melting above, and fire burning beneath.  She attempts to communicate with the world outside without words.

2009 / VolksLuxus, Berlin

I want to give you something… (a secret, a scar, a kiss) Don’t be afraid. Three people at a time are invited to enter a small secluded space, and share an intimate experience with the performer one by one, while the others watch in close proximity.

2009 / Haus am Lützowplatz, Berlin

A performance installation which confronts proximity and intimacy.  An intense individualized experience for one person at a time.  An intimate moment in a public space.

2009 / K-Salon, Berlin

A performance piece based on “he Order of Things” by Michel Foucault. The piece was commissioned for the finissage of the group exhibition “Die Ordnung der Dinge”.

2009 / 401contemporary Fine Art Gallery, Berlin

…You’re searching for something you’ve forgotten how to define, and the memory of it haunts you… Like that little part of you that only wants to watch the cars crash… I’m waiting…
Lullaby is a full length site specific performance in light, sound, smell, texture, movement and images. It is a sensual exploration into the subconscious and collective memory.

2009 / Infernoesque, Berlin

This piece is an experiential experiment, performed for one person at a time in the dark.  It is a personalized guided exploration of the senses, utilizing touch, sound, movement, and text.  It is the first part of a trilogy of pieces dealing in the method of one person guided experience.
