Sylvia is a performance artist from Germany, currently living in Bristol. She devises solo productions as well as working in (cross-artform) collaborations.

Her projects often revolve around the process of remembering, personal histories, questions of place/ space and orientation, whilst following a playful and low-profile approach. In her work she draws on the live-moment of performance and plays with the presence of the audience.

Sylvia is also a curator and founder member of ‘You and Your Work’, a not-for-profit organisation which showcases a regular performance platform for emerging artists in Bristol. She is interested in curating as an arts practice dealing with context, space and structural resources.

Key Projects

Being Here While Not Being Here

A performer tries to retrace her experience of fainting on stage in a performance in 2003. By employing chalk signs, video snippets and a mic, a contemplation on memory, on being here and disappearing, and on different modes of reality is being composed.

You and Your Work

You and Your Work (YaYW) is dedicated to support emerging performance artists through presenting their work to diverse audiences, peer feedback and networking, publicity and humble financial support. YaYW also acts as social event and strives to engage non specialist audiences.
