Sheena McGrandles
Residency guest 25/26
Sheena McGrandles is an Irish choreographer and performer based in Berlin. Her hybrid practice spans choreography, performance, teaching, curating, and collaborative work, including the artist-led collectives PSR and neue häute / agora. Her choreographic research focuses on radical temporality — slowing down, suspending, or hyper-editing movement to transform the everyday. This inquiry informs the series Radical Temporalities & Illogical Intimacies, which includes FIGURED, FLUSH, and as long as you want, which premiered at HAU Hebbel am Ufer. Alongside this work, she develops autobiographical pieces that engage with large-scale theatrical genres: DAWN: A Musical on Reproduction, MINT: An Opera on Money, and TOIL. She has been invited twice to Tanzplattform Deutschland and, since 2024, has received structural funding (Basisförderung).
