Layton Lachman
Layton Lachman is a choreographer and performer based in Berlin. They create performances rooted in somatics, channeling experiential practices into immersive, sensorially complex worlds. Layton is committed to dance practice centred on group study and collective authorship — with the understanding that we are always collaborating with those who come before, after, and with us. They consider authorship within the premise of transmission, relation, alliance and ensemble. Their practice includes staged works, films, one-on-one encounters, installations and audio/performative tours. In addition to artistic practice, Layton is an independent curator, currently working in the context of Lotto Royale NYC at OCDChinatown. Currently, Layton teaches improvisation and composition at Marameo, Dock 11, and Poderosa e.V. as well as offering workshops and intensive courses as a guest artist/docent at universities in the USA/UK
