Dramaturgay

Hi everyone!
Let me introduce myself officially – I am your local Dramaturgay.

You can book me as part of your theatre play, performance or dance piece, film and video projects as well as to support your individual art practice.

“Their strong personal and political desire to center QTBiPoC narratives and audience members was highly valuable.”

My approach

  • a decolonial, diasporan, queer feminist of color perspective on storytelling and vision making
  • a focus on holistic healing arts and embodiment practices informed by my Ayurvedic training
  • a focus on auto historía – how we can tell our own stories in various settings of institutions
  • a calling back of our creative agency- moving from a reactory approach towards a liberatory vision making
  • a remembering and establishing of connections, sharing references and inspiration that are aligned with your individual and collective practices
  • support during collective processes and wellbeing
  • exchange about how to make art/performance spaces more accessible for all bodies
  • 1:1 artistic coaching (supporting your vision making/planning/applications processes)
  • English/Deutsch

“It was 10/10. Sunanda´s attention to detail and ability to make connections in a wide pool of various (and at times counteracting) desires from different people involved (performers, sound, visual, technicians, etc) were very impressive.”

“…die hervorgehobene Wichtigkeit des Re-Connectings mit dem Dreaming und der inner world. Das überhaupt zuzulassen und Raum dafür zu schaffen, der im Grunde die Grundlage für alles bildet. Und ganz besonders deine Betonung, joy bei dem, was ich mache, zu fokussieren und zu priorisieren.”
