Andrea Bozic produces interdisciplinary and multimedia shows that balance on the border between podium art and media art. They are compositions made from fragments of movement, music, video, film and (sometimes) text. She usually works with video artist Julia Willms and composer Robert Pravda.

She is fascinated by presence, embodiment, fiction and narrative, and what happens to these elements when a space is configured with technology: how does our media-obsessed living environment affect how it feels to live in this world?

In her projects, Andrea Bozic has developed several strategies for addressing these questions: It’s Me But I’m No Longer There was an installation for two active spectators, but without a protagonist; Ways To Multiply Yourself was a production for a far removed body that was being observed by two cameras; Still Life With Man And Woman was an existential thriller, a film set within a live performance. The new production Nothing Can Surprise Us (June 2008) follows on from the use of film material as a ‘script’ for a show, whereby two art forms unite to produce an interdisciplinary theatre discipline.

International: 

Over the last few years, Andrea Bozic has worked throughout Europe at festivals, conferences and on exchange programmes. The production Still Life With Man And Woman, a co-production made with Theater Gasthuis (Amsterdam) and the Plateaux Festival, Mousonturm (Frankfurt), was performed in various European countries. Ways To Multiply Yourself appeared in Tanzhaus NRW (in Germany) and the Dance Week Festival in Croatia. Pulse Line, a dance film produced in collaboration with Julia Willms, toured countries including Israel and South-Africa.

She was given good reviews in various European newspapers. For example: ‘Brilliant theatrical essay on contemporary image culture’ (De Morgen, Belgium); ‘Abseits der dummen Videokonfektion auf vielen Theaterbühnen glänzt das feinsinnige, ruhige und konzentrierte Still life’ (Frankfurter Algemeine Zeitung, Germany).
