Marisa Akeny

The aritst is mainly driven by two impulses she combines in her work, her social ambitions and her love of dance and performance.

Marisa Akeny is specialized on popping and break dance. She is a professionally trained and state approved Caregiver and worked for years with socially disadvantaged children and youngsters. In her workshops she happily shares her experiences and knowledge.

In 2008 she co-founded (as dancer and choreographer) the berlin-based music group LAING () which performs regularly throughout Germany. Since 2009 she collaborates frequently with numerous artists, conceptualizing choreographies for public shows, performing by herself and dances in music videos.

From 2008-2010 she co-founded the three-women break dance crew "B*berlin".

In 2010 she realized a 5-months long girls project, in cooperation with choreographer Stella Caric, resulting in a 40 minutes dance-theater-show, performed at TAK, at YAAM and in Haus der Kulturen der Welt at the "Festiwalla".

Michael Ebert

The artists has roots both in Germany and France.

From 2001 till 2005 he studied audiovisual art at Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. He started out working on sound installations as live performances and video art in combination. With time he engaged more in sculptural installations on which he focuses for now. His work deals with poetic reduction and minimization to reveal the essentials.

Since 2007 he collaborates with his brother Axel Ebert, forming the group "the ebertbrothers". In a live setting, together they are producing experimental, electric sound pieces, while adding carefully collected visual material, presented as audio-visual-performance.
