… expression through movement. Dance is a language so universal and rich in possibilities, that there is no end to the process of learning + researching. Every performance is a work in progress OF myself as a danceR.
PROJECT EPHEMERIS
- daily poetry + videoperformance
PROJECT EPHEMERIS, which started in January 2019, consists of daily poetry + videoperformance (improvisation-based).
the consistency is an essential aspect of this work.
while the structure of the practice is strictly laid out, the content comes from a place of intuition. my movement improvisation is informed by more than 25 years of dancing, of consistent work on movement technique + building my own practice which lays the foundation of my understanding of the body. the body knows how to express what words cannot.
PROJECT EPHEMERIS is entirely process-oriented as there is no end goal in sight. the goal is to stay committed to the process.
the authenticity resulting from showing up to this process has become a characteristic quality of this body of work. it is the pursuit to embody the humanness inherent of all of us.
the work is published online every day.
may it be an invitation to come home to the self
+ find connection there.
to reflect, evolve, be.

THE LAMENTATIONS OF MY KIDNEYS
FEBRUARY 2019
‘THE LAMENTATIONS OF MY KIDNEYS’ is a process of researching the kidneys on a physical, energetic and emotional level. Why the kidneys? Energetically speaking the kidneys are home to our vital energy and recharging our batteries. On top of the kidneys the adrenal glands are located, which are responsible for the production of stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol – what was meant to be the so called ‘fight or flight’ mechanism for emergencies has become a constant state for most adrenal glands being carried around in our society. This is having a tremendous influence on the entire body, mental health and the soul.
Depleted kidney energy is related to emotions of fear and anxiety, leading to trending issues such as stress, exhaustion, burn-out or ultimately adrenal fatigue.
The work with the kidneys offers me access to a current topic of relevance within our society from an energetic perspective and is leading me to artistic expression through my physicality.
My approach is holistic (body, mind, spirit) and my work process-oriented. What happens with me, when I address the kidneys and correlated meridians through movement? How could this research be relevant for other people?

JULIA OHNE
'JULIA OHNE' / JANUARY 2018 CONCEPT+DANCE: Julia Kannewischer
CAMERA+CUT: TINCANMEDIA (www.tincan.ch)
In January 2018 I finally went through the process of recording this solo material, which I have been working on since August 2017. It stands in connection to some thoughts I'm sharing here:
‘JULIA OHNE’ stands for Julia without Romeo and is asking the symbolic question ‘What if Julia would have listened to her rationality instead of her passion?’
Symbolic meaning symbolic for all what is indicated.
Symbolic for the question whether a Julia in today’s world would have acted the same way, because I dare to state, that we tend to listen more to our rationality today – what does passion actually mean and where does it have space in our society? Related to that: how is femininity and feminine passion defined today and how is it expressing itself in opposition to rationality? In which dimension does this stand in connection with the theme of emancipation? Can I experience emotional connection without being emotionally depending or in other words how can I detach from emotional attachment?
‘JULIA OHNE’ thus doesn’t only stand for Julia without Romeo, but rather for a blank space in many ways and the question, whether this blank space is emerging from the romantic perception of society or is actually a blank space.
