Julia Flux
lives and works in Berlin and Andalusia Spain
Flux works at the intersection of dance, somatic practices, feminist speculation, land art, and site-specific performance. Rooted in dance her work explores the body as a sensual, sensing field in continuous exchange with land, matter, and unseen forces.
Flux’s practice is driven by a long-term inquiry into the invisible, the in-between, and the more-than-human—those subtle spaces where perception, myth, ecology, and matter meet. Influenced by Butoh’s understanding of ma (the interval, the charged void), she works within states of co-sensing, listening, and attunement, often engaging with stones, minerals, animals, solar forces, and landscapes as active collaborators from which she creates symbolic movement material. She developed methodologies that combine embodied research, ecological listening, speculative fiction -such as “TALKING WITH STONES” and “SENSUAL ANIMALS WITH SPIRITUAL FLESH” —a way of working that honors material agency, stimulates ecological imagination and a earthbound sensing. Her choreographic style is hugely impacted by the quest for symbolic movement, the body and dance as infinite vocabulary and tool of developing languages.
Her practice is grounded in a foundational dance education in jazz and ballet, later expanded through contemporary dance and intensive professional training with the Berlin Dance Institute BDI, where she got trained in the techniques of Martha Graham, Horton and Axis Syllabus.
going through various trainings in contemporary Dance Flux is deeply inspired by Pina Bausch’s legacy and integrates a symbolic movement interpretation with a strong emphasize on hand arm shape variations, her focus lies on a strong, authtentic energertic and emotional presence, strongly influenced her research on sign language. She translates into scores, images, and compositional structures that form visual poems
she trained and found inspiration and guidance for her work within intense workshops at B12 Berlin with Pau Aran Gimeno,, at TIC TAC CENTER under David Zambrano and Martha Coronado, within Tanzfabrik and Berlin Dance Institute and MOTIONS Dance as well as upcoming within the D7 Intense Program Berlin.
Her partial deafness on the right side has profoundly shaped her sensory orientation, sharpening her attention to altered states of perception, silence, and non-verbal forms of communication—elements that remain central to her artistic language.
she also trained for over 5 years within the realm of Schwelle 7 Berlin exploring shibari and various forms of rope-play-performance based bodyworks, deeply influenced by mentors like Felix Ruckert and Dasniya Sommer, dedicated to explore non-verbal expressions and the power of body language.
