Artists / Caroline Mueller (UK)
Caroline Mueller has trained in Fine Arts, Performing Arts and European Dance Theatre practices. Having worked as a professional performer in London and internationally since 2000, she formed her own company BoXd productions in 2004, with which she first produced several dance films that were shown nationally and internationally.
She created her first stage work in 2006, and her pieces France '06 and Valentina and the Fish have been performed in several London Venues. Her work s(c)e(e)n(e) (created and performed in London and Switzerland, 2007), her first investigation of using live-recorded video on stage, won a prize at the Premio Competition for Dance and Theatre in Switzerland. She continues to combine video and live performance in her most recent research project Frau (working title) .
Caroline has been teaching at Northampton University as a lecturer in dance and theatre since 2007, and has created several works with undergraduate students as part of their degree; in 2008 she was commissioned to create a performance with the Greenwich NRG Youth Dance for the National Youth Dance Festival at the Southbank Centre in London.
In all of her performances, Caroline accentuates the act of creating performance; her performers often double as technicians, stage managers or sound and light operator alike. Her work allows the audience to witness the performance creation with all its operational necessities to create a scene or performative product.
Aiming to find the poetically beautiful within the mundane and seemingly unimportant or random, her projects combine humor with solemnity, and are locatable at the edge of traditional movement theatre practice.
