You give each movement it’s rhythm - it’s soul.
Welcome to Virtual Humans.

They have no rhythm.
They are looking for their soul.

Dear friends of PAUL, Artists & Art Lovers near and far,
You may have heard through the grapevine that we, PAUL Studios Berlin- a self funded, Artist run collective, have suffered extensive fire damage at the end of June and were forced to close our doors until our beloved space can be repaired. We are now turning to Berlin's lovely community of artists and art lovers to ask for your support in raising funds to help us through this time of recovery from the fire.
The afternoon of June 29th, we gathered at PAUL for one of our laboratory sessions. Within minutes of beginning the session our beloved PAUL began to fill with smoke. We evacuated the space and called the fire department right away.
We feel lucky to have been there and able to contact help quickly. However, sadly despite our best efforts, the fire department was not able to save our neighbors space - SOUNDS - which was destroyed completely by the fire. They have been such a supportive and amazing space to have nearby and we are so sorry they have to go through these challenging times.
Although our space did not catch fire itself, the fire still left quite a bit of damage in its wake, as we share a wall with SOUNDS. In saving our space from the fire, the firefighters had to open up the wall breaking several mirrors and causing damage to the ceiling and floors as well. We need to replace our sound system, curtains, soundproofing, and Marley floors. This is not to mention smoke & water damage throughout the space.
Due to the extensive damage to PAUL, we were forced to close our doors until the space can be repaired. We have had to turn away all of our regular renters, cancel our bi-monthly performance series, and our classes. This means we are not earning the income normally used to cover our basic running costs.
As many of you know, PAUL is a self-funded, Artist run collective, who's core initiative is to support the artistic community through affordable space rentals, performance opportunities, residencies, & support in artistic creation. We are now turning to this same beautiful community of artists and art lovers to ask for your help in raising funds to help us get through this hard time, and open PAUL's doors again!
Every little bit helps, and we are so grateful for anything you are able to contribute. If you are not able to donate funds, please help by sharing this with your friends and rich relatives! :)
Lots of Love & Hugs,
The PAUL Kollektiv
Vera, Jojo, Edegar & Zahra
We are writing with very heavy hearts with some sad news. Yesterday, during our first B.R.I.D.G.E.S. event, the space next to ours caught fire. Luckily, we were at PAUL and able to call the fire department in time to save PAUL. However, the fire destroyed our neighbors space completely and caused significant damage to our space. We are sadly forced to close our doors until we can repair the damages. We are not sure how long this process will take, but we will keep you informed! We are so sorry for this inconvenience and thank you in advance for your patience and understanding in this tough time.
Lots of Love & Hugs,
The PAUL Kollectiv
💜Vera, Jojo, Edegar & Zahra💜

Four slabs of material with embedded microphones, made from different substances such as plaster, silicon or wax. Four bodies create a landscape of sound through the interaction with the materials and the textures. How do we conduct ourselves within the environment and architecture we have built? Embedding examines how architectural materials influence our state of being.

ATTILA ANDRASI
ONCE UPON A TIME
Photo by: Manel Ortega
Description:
Throughout the research process I have been trying to answer three big questions of life. Where humans originate? What are we made of? How do we progress? The aim of my research is to create different images in relations to these questions.
The original piece was made in 2016 at Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance (SEAD)
Bio:
He was born in Hungary where his interest in dance started at the Budapest Contemporary Dance Academy. He gained his first experience in performing at Trafo and Mu Theatre in Budapest. Attila continued his studies at the Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance (SEAD) where he gained professional experience at different festivals. (New Face Dance Festival in Salzburg, Symphonic Dance Festival, Tanz House Festival and To Spring Tanz Festival in Salzburg) During his time he worked with Alleyene Dance Company (UK), Eduardo Torroja (ESP), Jelka MIllic (SL), Elton Petri (GR), Rakes Sukes (IND) after he finished his study He was collaborating with Lior Lazarof (ISR), HZT Academy, Berlin with Anna Németh (HU) and The Ryder Project Gallery in London with Andrea Canepa (CO).

SABINA MOE
STRING THEORY
Description:
String Theory is a research performance based on empathy and teamwork. Five audience members will tie an access to point to the performer and influence, or just listen, to what follows. String Theory provides anonymous responsibility to the on-looker and valuable information to the stage. This piece provides creative influence for and by the audience as well as tangible responsibility for all parties involved. What will we learn, where will we go, and who will we see on this corporeal kite ride together?
Bio:
Sabina Moe is a choreographer//performer from the U.S. She makes work for the purpose of joy and empathy. She has lots of friends. She has make lots of work. She has lots of work still to be done. Hi Mom.
NADI
GOGOULOU
MY MOVE
Description:
“The move” is a piece about all, more or less, movements we do in order to do a single movement. It is about a kinetic research of a dancer’s usual movements, which does without even think. It is about an effort to be more considerate about how a dancer moves all the time. A constant battle of mind and body in order to do the right movements, with the proper quality and to keep the balance concerning the choreography, the dramaturg and the perfect timing. So the idea is to do and speak loud to myself of what to do and the audience is experiencing live my thoughts and my interpretation. This piece is an improvisation solo, concerning my kinetic patterns and has a goal to break through my habits in movement.
Concept/Performing/Musical design: Nadi Gogoulou
Support: KID Residency (Malme, Sweden 2018)
Bio:
Nadi Gogoulou is a professional dancer/performer. She graduated a professional dance school in 2011 and she has a degree in Economics from 2013. She mostly works as a dancer with many Greek choreographers in dance performances and site specific performances, but also as a creator of her own choreographies. Works of her own is the pieces “DownFall”, “On the spot”, “Late Night Impro”.

She works also in theater productions as a director of the movement and occasionally she gives contemporary dance classes to amateurs and actors.
MARCELLA STÉEN
THE POWER OF ONE
Description:
How an ashamed body moves when it is forced into action. Revealed when it is not ready to be visible. Needing to disappear. What we shame or celebrate is about what ideas we have of right or wrong.
A critical perspective on feelings, power structures & space. But there is a fantasy of freedom — depowering oppressive structures, unlearning and unbecoming what is constituted. Freedom from having to be or do, from expectations, discipline and the essential.
Bio:
Marcella Quinchavil Stéen is a Swedish-Chilean dance artist. Her artistic practice is inspired of somatic practices, everyday habits and how words construct situations. Her performative interest lies in the banal, what knowledge is and both the vulnerable and the ridiculous in being a human. That, in order to have a critical perspective on feelings, performance and power structures.
She graduated from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance with a first class degree BA (Hons) in Contemporary Dance, London, U.K. Currently, she is undertaking a MFA in Performing Arts. She has worked with very famous people, and is very famous herself.
SARAH JEGELKA & HANNES BUDER
NOTHINGNESS
Description:
Instant composition for cello & dance
Observe the empty space between inhaling and exhaling.
Trap into the silence between the words.
Things disappear, only the last substance remains.
Forms disappear, only the formless remains.
Definitions disappear, the undefined remains.
But this very pure space is there before anything comes into being.

Dance: Sarah Jegelka

Sarah Jegelka is a professional dancer based in Berlin. Sarah likes to find new ways of connecting and expressing different arts through movement.
