Tania Elstermeyer

is a performance artist, an actress and lecturer for fine arts at the UDK Berlin. She is also the commissioner for antisemitism work and networking at UDK Berlin. She studied in the classes of Prof. Thomas Zipp and Prof. Mathilde ter Heijne at UdK Berlin.

Her textual compositions bring registers of writing to mind, which are performedin alliance to a distinctive kind of music beyond established genres. During her performances, sceneries resemblant of theater backdrops are created, ultimately by operating with a vocabulary that is minimalism. Her work slivers traditional outlines of narrator and spectatorship by luring oneself into spaces of intimacy that attracts interest and cause discomfort. She provides powerful- voiced and harmonica live performances, enhanced by electric amplifiers, that transcend her voice and sounds into a both space consuming and producing sound scape. Thus, she creates images that assert themselves by her voice and appearance, which is the primal force of her practice.
