focusing on the topic of sex through feministic standpoints; Silver Gold, a project where different
dance generations meet, exchange memories and create new ones; Za crknt, an exploration of
contemporary clown and cabaret formats; On the Ground, a concert performance on exhaustion and
resistance within late capitalism; Dragi Drago!, a drag king cabaret; Life.Refabricated., a performative and writing practice with Norbert Sven Fö on topics of improvisation, revolution and love.
She has worked in various different projects and mediums, from clown theatre and contemporary dance to radio, television and film – but her main focus, passion and frustration has always been improvisation.
Maja and Norbert have worked together in many different contexts, from contemporary dance,
clown theatre and music making to co-teaching, working with peer support groups and writing. Life. Refabricated. is their performative and writing practice, where their main field of research is artistic improvisation. This practice sometimes frames as a performance, sometimes as a workshop, sometimes as a discussion, sometimes as a performative installation, sometimes as writing and sometimes as formats not yet named.
