The Berlin festival kicks off today (27 January).
Four new artists – selected by CTM – have joined this year’s SHAPE+ cohort and have been added to the CTM Festival line-up. The new additions are choreographer, performance curator, film and creative director Franka Marlene Foth, cellist and composer Judith Hamann, experimental sound artist Gerard Lebik and dancer Janan Laubscher – who is also part of Berlin-based creative collective FMKF.
The four artists will participate in the SHAPE+ platform via collaborative residencies. Foth and Laubscher will be teaming up with Italian producer NZIRIA to present a new performance piece whilst Hamann and Lebik will perform with Polish composer Aleksandra Słyż at MONOM – Berlin’s centre for spatial sound.
CTM Festival takes place in Berlin from 27 January to 5 February. This year marks the event’s 24th edition with the likes of LSDXOXO, Marie Davidson, Iceboy Violet, Coby Sey, Authentically Plastic and Debmaster set to perform.
