Moving in November presents: DAWN by Sheena McGrandles

Where does the human need to create a family come from? In an autofictional musical, Sheena McGrandles interweaves personal experiences with myths and narrations from ancient and contemporary times, together with a temporary collective of Berlin artists. DAWN is an experimental musical that combines concert, spoken word and performance into a multi-layered and humorous artistic work about reproduction, parenthood, and the power of a child as a symbol of hope. Sheena McGrandles performance Figured was presented in Moving in November’s Traces from November edition 2021.


Sheena McGrandles

Sheena McGrandles is a dancer and choreographer living in Berlin. She works in different contexts such as theatre/stage, education and independent art and culture projects. Her current group of works explores illogical intimacies and radical temporalities as a means of detailed exploration and exaggeration of movement. Her works create hyper-real, multi-narrative and humorous moving landscapes. Sheena presents her works nationally and internationally, including London (The Place), Amsterdam (something raw), Berlin (Sophiensaele), Mexico City (Museo Universitario Del Chopo), Los Angeles (PSSST). She completed her BA at the Laban Centre London and later studied at the HZT/UdK Berlin, where she finished her MA in Solo Dance Authorship. In addition to her work as an artist, Sheena is one of the founding members of neuehäute, where she works on the development of new interdisciplinary platforms and formats for the independent scene in Berlin. In parallel she is part of the collective PSR (performance situation room) who currently curate the new Heizhaus at Uferstudios Berlin.


The performance is part of Moving in November festival, which will be organized from the 3rd to the 13th of November 2022.

As part of the festival, there will be an open discussion with the artist, called Soup Talk, on the 10th of November 12 AM in Caisa.
