Andrea Hackl is based in Amsterdam and works internationally as an independent and multidisciplinary artist, filmmaker and choreographer. Having a background in dance, her work has an over visceral quality. While the human body is one main channel of exploration and expression, she cherishes the alchemy of different disciplines. Central themes of her work: transformational processes of empowerment, freedom and, often, the innate connection between inner psychological/emotional and outer, at times natural landscapes.
As a performer, she’s stood on some of the world’s most important stages and has participated in artistic residency programs as well as presented work at festivals worldwide. She’s a traveller, loving adventure. Her work being presented internationally allows her to travel, meet and collaborate with artists worldwide. These connections and meetings are one of the most enriching aspects of her creative path, nourishing her inspiration and artistic work.
In her filmic work, she loves to explore the sensorial power of the image as well as multi-channel installations. Her latest work THE DISAPPEARANCE OF TIME has been awarded the PRIX DE ANGEL ARONSANZ by Angel Orensanz Foundation (Paris/New York) at AVIFF Festival Cannes / Marseille, and she is touring DREAMER, a visceral and poetic journey of film, performance and music, inspired by the Tibetan Book of the Dead. DREAMER has won the Award for Best Interdisciplinary Live Performance at Lensdans Festival Brussels. Her short films – e.g. BELE BELTZA, Silent Fragments & Light Rising – are being presented at festivals worldwide and have won multiple awards for BEST FILM, BEST CHOREOGRAPHY or BEST VIDEO POETRY.
