LOIS BARTEL

Theater // Performance Artist

ABOUT
Lois Bartel is concerned with the overlapping of fact and fiction in social and scientific narratives. She is particularly interested in the body, its affects and desires and how this is culturally shaped. Her research-based performances are characterised artistically by her off beat humor.
She has a particular aesthetic interest in the performativity of voice and sound.

Lois first studied acting at the Bern University of the Arts. In 2015 she concluded the Master Programm in Performance Studies with a focus on dance/choreography at the University of Hamburg. Her projects were performed at the Schlachthaus Bern, PAF Berlin, KALTSTART Hamburg, LICHTHOF Theatre and Kampnagel Hamburg. With her Solo TRICKS she won the Mentoring Prize of the Hauptsache Frei Festival Hamburg in 2018. Most recently her project IMAGINES premiered at the LICHTHOF Online Lab. Collaborations connect her with Teresa Hoffmann, Juliana Oliveira, Greta Granderath, Gloria Höckner, among others. Since 2012 she has been an active member of the Probebühne im Gängeviertel.
