Lily Pasquali Born in 1993 in Genoa, Italy, Lily is a queer, non-binary artist moving between dance, anthropology, cooking and ecological practice. Their background in environmental studies led to a deep dive into the politics of waste, capitalistic logic in supply chains and systems of care. Dance emerged in their life as a practice of healing and poetic resistance. They have trained in Butoh, contact improvisation, and somatic work across Europe since 2016. Lily also co-founded in 2020 an experimental community farm Larret en Mouvements dedicated to improvisation practices, food sovereignty, and radical pedagogy and promoting cultural events in deep rural region. In 2022, they co-founded Reversed Dances with Franziska to explore eco-political and intimate questions through movement. ◘ ◘ ◘ ◘ ◘ ◘ ◘ ◘ ◘ ◘ ◘ ◘ ◘ ◘ ◘ ◘ ◘ ◘ ◘ Franziska Gerth Born in 1991 in Altenburg in the former GDR, Franziska’s practice is rooted in the social transitions of post-reunification Germany. Her studies in Latin American political theory and embodied research shaped her decolonial, body-centered approach. Her artistic journey with Butoh and somatic movement began in Colombia in 2014. She has since performed, taught, and collaborated across Europe and Latin America, including long-standing work with Minako Seki and performances with Tadashi Endo and others. Franziska co-founded maizbrasil and works with treemedia e.V. at the intersection of art and political education. Her focus lies in the body as a site of resistance, relationality, and transformation. In 2022, they co-founded Reversed Dances with Lily.
