Hanna Sybille MÜLLER

Hanna Sybille Müller is a choreographer and mother living in Tiohtiá:ke/Mooniyang/Montréal. Her artistic practice focuses on the interrelations between movement and language, fascinated by both the body’s and language’s strange, magical, and ordinary potencies. Through her work, she asks how we might expand our sense of collaboration—between humans and also with non-human forms of life.

In Polymorphic Microbe Bodies (OFFTA Festival, 2023), a collaboration with poet Erin Robinsong, she explored how poetic language and choreographic movement can attune to microbial worlds. Her ongoing project The Choreographic Garden extends this research into the vegetal realm, where she and her collaborators are learning from plants what it means to think, move, and be vegetal.

Originally from Germany, Sybille studied dance at the Rotterdamse Dansacademie and completed a diploma in Media Studies at the Berlin University of the Arts in 2012. Bringing together performance, somatic inquiry, and ecological thinking, her work proposes choreography as a way to reimagine our place within a more-than-human world.
