JOHANNA LEMKE
(*1982, Berlin) is a dancer and choreographer. She stands up for better working conditions for (freelance) dancers with children, and not only since Corona-related home schooling has brought a further challenge for mothers and fathers.
She trained in Berlin and Amsterdam and has worked, e.g., with Falk Richter, Martin Stiefermann, Boris Charmatz, and since 2008 above all with Constanza Macras at the Schaubühne. She creates her own works, such as FAINT (2008), UNTERSTROM (2010) and KAISER WILHELM IM EXIL (2012), BERT DEIN SCHUH IST AUF UND WIE TANZT JETZT EIGENTLICH EIN KAMEL (2017), GÖTTLICHKEIT TRIFFT PUNK, a dance lecture on the topic of mothers in art (2019), HELLO KEVIN (2020), LABOR MFL (2020). In 2019 she founded the artists’ collective TeamVolume, which has been supported since 2020 by the Fond Darstellender Künste and DokArt. Confronted with the deficiency of children-friendly structures at the theatres, she explores in her works the seemingly secondary and yet charged topic of motherhood. Since 2020 she has received support in the form of a residence at the ada-Studio in Berlin-Lichtenberg, which is offered specifically to female artists with children.
