Elisabete Finger is a Brazilian choreographer based in Berlin. She studied dance and choreography in different places such as the Essais Program at the CNDC d’Angers (FR) and the MA SODA (UdK /HZT Berlin). In her creations she works with the rawness of bodies and materials, moving their anatomies, revealing insides and outsides, exposing textures, forms and fluids in images and situations that stand in the border between delight and disturbance, beauty and ugliness, delicacy and danger, often challenging social/cultural expectations. Her pieces have been presented in dance, performance and visual arts contexts, with the support of Brazilian and international institutions. In recent years in Germany she was a fellow of Martin Roth Initiative (2021-2022) as an associated artist at HZT/UdK, and later a resident artist at Radialsystem (2023), within the frame of Weltoffenes Berlin program. Finger is currently one of the recipients of Tanzpraxis 2024/2025.

Tatiana Mejía is a dancer and choreographer from the Dominican Republic, living in Berlin since 2011. She began her dance journey in Santo Domingo, where she first developed her choreographic works. Her artistic practice interlaces afrodiasporic, contemporary and experimental dance with music through a decolonial lens. She approaches movement and sound as living archives of memory, resistance and transformation, where body, voice and media intertwine. By navigating embodied actions and confronting stereotypes and colonial narratives, her practice opens spaces for healing, reimagination and intersectional futures. She has collaborated with artists internationally, and her creations include Kiskeya, Gagá and Sway.
