Hen Lovely Bird
Founder of StratoFyzika, Dancer/Choreographer, creative direction
After performing and presenting dance, sound, and video art in San Francisco for over 10 years, Hen immigrated to Berlin, Germany in 2010, where she co-founded StratoFyzika with Alessandra Leone and Lenka Kocisova. As a collective that creates audiovisual, movement-based interactive performances, StratoFyzika has presented original works throughout Europe and Brazil at venues including Cynetart Festival, Uferstudios (Month of Performance Berlin), Platoon Kunsthalle Berlin, and Galeria de Arte Digital do Sesi-SP/FIESP in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
In addition to StratoFyzika, Hen has been a founding member of three other performance collectives, primarily centered in San Francisco: A.R.G. (Anomolous Research Group), Suki Tawdry, and The Black Cactus Choir. She has performed with these groups mostly as a dancer/choreographer, but also as a sound artist and physical/narrative actor. In addition, Hen has been a performance artist in fashion shows, music videos, and dance-for-camera films. She holds a B.A. in Dance and Intermedia Arts from Mills College (Oakland, CA), where she was the recipient of the “Innovative Choreography” award.
