PROGRAMME
Claire is a femme choreographer, insomniac writer, and reality TV enthusiast currently based in Vienna, Austria. She likes to think of herself as a hostess, welcoming collaborators and audience members into kitsch landscapes where politics and poetics are gently interwoven. Currently, she is exploring the archetype and working methods of a performance doula – a role imagined to bring care work into visibility in the context of performance making. Her last stage work, LOIE (is a fire that cannot be extinguished), dealt with somatic archives and systematic erasures within dance history.
Claire’s work with text spans from poetry to grant applications, at times flirting with performance criticism, stand-up comedy, or queer feminist theory. Occasionally, she works as a ghostwriter, mostly due to the spectral appeal of the job title. Claire teaches writing workshops and is a contributing writer for several performance art publications, both online and in print. She has been sharing care practices for tired freelancers since 2018, teaching essential survival skills to her peers, and occasionally covering them in plush blankets while they fall asleep.
