ARTIST PRIZE

POOL 21 awarded artist ANDREA HACKL and the SITA OSTHEIMER COMPANY with the PEARLS ARTIST PRIZE for their artistic work in the field of dance film. The prize is linked to a prize money.

ANDREA HACKL

ANDREA HACKL

is a choreographer, performer & visual artist, based in Amsterdam and Austria. As independent artist, she’s been working and touring internationally with her own performative work as well as in the performances of other companies and choreographers.

PERFORMANCE

Her performative work is, foremost, a celebration of life. She cherishes the poetry within the physicality of the human body. Transformative processes, rite of passage and catharsis are essential themes to her work and exploration and her artistic practice is inspired by cross-pollination, the alchemy of interdisciplinary work. 

She has danced with companies & choreographers like Jasper van Luijk/SHIFFT (@Korzo Productions), Cascade

Dance Theater, Emanuel Gat Dance, United C, Suzy Blok and toured major venues and festivals worldwide. Her own work has been presented internationally, in Europe/Scandinavia, North/Central America, S/E Asia & India.

FILM

Andrea Hackl is an award winning film maker and has produced dance films that were presented in festivals world wide. Her work Silent Fragments has won two awards recently: for Best Film [Cinedanza Festival, Modena Italy] and Best Choreography [InShadow Festival, Lisbon Portugal]. She’s been exploring projections and the medium of video installation in her choreographic work. 

MOUNTAINS AND THE OUTDOORS

Deeply inspired by nature, textures and the sensorial; always having sought the connection with a vital energy in order to create with it in her dance work, it is a natural dimension of her path to follow the call to the outdoors. A path that is always journeying towards the source. She’s exploring that path while combining her biggest passions: Nature/mountains, film and visual work as well as the primal and poetic power of dance and the human body.

Her project OF RAVENS AND GODS – that BELE BELTZA is part of – she’s sharing a work that is born out of this calling.
