” Hannah Ma and her teams (hannahmadance | Trier, GER, The People United asbl | LU, Haus Noir | ZA, Studio Hannah Ma Alps | Berchtesgaden, GER) are international art producers and multidiciplinary art makers focusing on making a local impact through discussing the socio-political questions that move us globally. 

Hannahs focus lies on contemporary rituals and the translation of archaic roots within our society. Her choreographic works are divided in two directions: “Taming Monsters” (recreations of classic theatre themes) and “Transformances”. Hannah reflects on eurocentrism, (post-) colonialism, racism, sexism and focuses on diversity- mainstreaming, empowerment of feminist actions and genderfluidity. Her choreographic language is creatively mixing elements of dance and theatre, of ballet, dancetheatre and performance. 

Hannahs ensemble “The People United” has performed with theatre directors such as: Martin G. Berger (Faust Theaterpreisträger), Christian Götz and Quark & Golfarb amongst others. Hannah was commissioned as a director/ creator and speaker to make performing art creations, masterclasses and lectures by institutions such as: Theater Dessau (Choreography: “Faust”, 2017), Arp Museum am Rolandseck (Choreography: “Tanz mit Maske”, 2018), Jomba! Festival (Concept paper: “The politics of intimacy”, 2021), Theater Trier (Choreography: “OZ” 2009), National Arts Festival Makanda (Choreography: “Syphides- humans-fishes-birds”/ opening show of the festival 2019), Tanzkomplizen Berlin/ Nora Amin (Lecture: “The performative politcal body of today”/ 2020), Theatres de la Ville (Choreography: “A rather odd question”/ Larisa Faber, TalentLAB 2020)

Her work was evaluated by the German Unesco Commission partnered by Bertelsmann Stiftung for the publication: “Kunst in der Migrationsgesellschaft- Beiträge der Künste für ein Zusammenleben in Vielfalt” and chosen to be published as one of twelfe German best-practice models for working with the topic of migration/ refugees in 2017.

In 2020 | 2021 | 2022 Hannah is partnering with festivals, theatres and institutions such as Cape Town City Ballet, Jomba! Festival Durban Southafrica, Trois C-L Choreographic Center Luxemburg, Business and Arts Southafrica  (amongst others) to produce multidiciplinary, body- and movement based art through the deepening of the research on the theme: Transition into the WE | Transition ins WIR.
