Rather than pursuing clear narratives or fixed meanings, the work aims to create “moments” and engages with choreography as movements sedimented through time, habit and desire. It invites an intuitive way of watching and making, one that values sensation and attention over interpretation.

In this way, the work tries to resist the linear pull of chronology—the clock’s steady progression—in favour of understanding time as Kairos—the charged instant when everything briefly aligns, a field of possibility. In referencing the past, present and future, it finds its own sense of timelessness.

By Ewa Dziarnowska with kiana rezvani, Sunayana Shetty

Ewa Dziarnowska (b. 1991) is a dancer and choreographer based in Berlin, working across performance, collaboration and research. Her recent projects—This resting, patience, https://4677684728466.com and A Room With a Better View—reflect her sustained inquiry into improvisation as both method and philosophy. Through attention to sensation, rhythm and relation, she investigates how movement can generate knowledge and resist the pressures of coherence and productivity. Her practice unfolds in real time, balancing precision and spontaneity while questioning the social and aesthetic frameworks through which dance is produced, witnessed and circulated.

kiana rezvani (born in west Iran, based in Berlin, Germany) is an artist, choreographer and researcher developing choreographic and performative formats that blend dance, text, video and voice and are presented at theatres, galleries and independent curatorial spaces. Their artistic practice revolves around histories and narratives that are forgotten, untold, concealed and suppressed. Weaving together personal and collective memories and finding distinct parallels and intersections, rezvani's works craft new relations and realms of possibility, critically examining colonial and imperial constructs, and thereby, creating a space for poetic resilience. Their solo and collaborative works have been shown at Sophiensaele, Berlin; Uferstudios, Berlin; PACT Zollverein, Essen; Dock 11, Berlin; Schwankhalle, Bremen and Theater im Depot, Dortmund among others. They are the cofounder of cobracobra collective, where personal archival materials from the geographies of so-called Iran and Bolivia are researched. rezvani is a 2026 Fellow at Akademie Schloss Solitude.

Sunayana Shetty (IND/DE) is a Berlin-based dancer, choreographer, and educator. Her choreographic practice looks into the temporal nature of emotions: how they are constructed and inform behavior. In 2024, she was selected for the Asian Performing Artists Lab (APAL) and presented her work at the Berlin Ringtheater. She received a research scholarship from Künstlerhaus Lukas, Ahrenshoop in 2023. Her previous work Mother Tongue premiered at Ada Studios in Berlin and was later shown in New York (Green Space Studios) and Mumbai (Art & Charlie Gallery). Her latest work Three Women Walk into a Bar—created with Hanna Kritten Tangsoo and SigridSavi— premiered at Kanuti Gildi Saal in Tallinn, Estonia in December 2025. As an educator, she is visiting faculty at the Institute of Classical and Modern Dance in Mumbai. In 2020, she co-curated the Among Us workshop series, fostering dialogue on body-based practices. So far, Among Us has led two editions with the support of the digital and analog platform, Work It Out, Berlin. Sunayana has completed her Bachelor in Dance, Context, Choreography from the HZT University in Berlin (2018).
