Tanja London is a performing, haptic, visual and sound artist as well as a somatic educator based in Niwot, CO.
She grew up rummaging around both in the beautiful widespread Celtic forests of the German South, and in her own family’s WWll history. Querying social and hierarchical constructs is an integral part of who she is.
Her work has an inclusive feminist viewpoint. She loves to explore sociopolitical and ecological discourses. Topics such as the erosion of democracy, inherited stress and trauma, the cultural impact of military technology, climate change and resilience shape her theoretical and in studio research.
Her electronic sound projects under the alias qualia-c are dedicate to experimentation and to explore the somatic impact of vibrations, interconnection, as well as the edges of her emotions and thoughts.
Besides a BA in Social Pedagogy and Contemporary Dance she majored in Math and Art in German High School. She holds an MFA in Modern Dance including a Screendance Certificate, is a certified STOTT Pilates® Instructor as well as a Medical QiGong and Fascial Mobility Practitioner.
