Antonia Baehr (DE)

Antonia Baehr is a choreographer and filmmaker. Her work is typically non-disciplinary, involving a method of collaboration with different people that uses a game format with switching roles: each person serves in turn as director, author, host, performer and guest for others. She graduated in Film and Media Arts from the Hochschule der Künste Berlin with Valie Export (1996) and was awarded a DAAD grant and a Merit Scholarship for the School of The Art Institute of Chicago. There she completed her Master’s in Performance with Lin Hixson. From 2006 until 2008 she was associate artist-in-residence at Les Laboratoires d’Aubervilliers in France. Her productions include “Holding hands” with William Wheeler (2000); “Un aprčs-midi” (2003); “Cat Calendar” together with Antonija Livingstone (2004), “Larry Peacock” co-produced by Sabine Ercklentz and Andrea Neumann (2005); “Merci” (2006); “Over The Shoulder” (2009); “For Faces” (2010); “My Dog is My Piano” (2012) and “Beginning with the Abecedarium Bestiarium” (2012). With “Rire” (“Lachen”) she was a guest at steirischer herbst festival 2009. In March 2013 the Beursschouwburg in Brussels proposed a two-month focus programme on Antonia Baehr’s and Werner Hirsch’s work including performances, films, video installations, music, books and vinyl publications. The series is called “make up. at Antonia Baehr and Werner Hirsch's table”. Antonia Baehr is the producer of the horse whisperer and dancer Werner Hirsch, the musician and choreographer Henri Fleur, and the composer Henry Wilt. She lives in Berlin.
