BLUE SPACE is a short movie directed by dancers of Kollektiva. It was based on improvisations in silence and with compositions of Jan Paul Werge. The improvisations were based on the regular practises of Kollektiva., that they cultivated within their weekly professional training together, in which they focused on the topic of femininity, matriarchy and growth or empowerment, as much as communal support of the individual within a tribe.

Kollektiva. was founded in 2018 and is comprised of international freelance dance and performance artists based in Hamburg. Consisting completely of women, the collective uses the diverse artistic backgrounds of its members, within a heterarchical system, to reach new possibilities of movement through research. With a contemporary dance basis, classical ballet roots, urban and afrodance influences, martial arts interests, and Feldenkrais expertise, the women of Kollektiva. find similarity through their feminine experiences. The differences in movement knowledge of the collective make the quality of their work richer, allowing for the open exchange of ideas on the stage, in the studio, and in interaction with the free scene in Hamburg.
