pavleheidler (b. 1989, HR) (they/them) (ADHD-autism) is a movement-and-word artist and activist, an educator, and a queer critical thinker specialised in developing and making room for research-oriented performative practices within expanding fields of dance and choreography. as a dancer serving the field in various capacities, they are committed to intentionally employing dancerly skills–e.g., non-verbal communication, embodied knowing, dancing-as-evidencing–where and when “we” may not “think" there’s room for anything other than “reasonable behaviour”.
"Dancing for me remains a matter of life and death. A heart matter, if you will, without which I’d not have made it this far.”
