Dance and painting – two art forms meet in Shared Canvas. In a collaborative process dancer/choreographer Jonas Frey and painter/actor Cédric Pintarelli create a painting. Their common space transforms into an atelier and a dance studio in which the art forms merge together. While the movements of painting become visible as dance, the dance is captured in the paintings.

Aleksej Nutz is a videographer & filmmaker based in Stuttgart, Germany. He finds his inspiration for films in literature, art and of course, other films. Influenced by Hermann Hesse, Erich Fromm, Hannah Arendt, Andrei Tarkovsky and many more, his main subject is all about humanity and the question of how to be connected with oneself, with other people and nature.

Then he went abroad to organize educational camps for children and young people in Romania. Returning to Germany after two years, Aleksej has focused on his work as a freelancer and Educational Consultant.

Together with Johannes Frick (actor, singer and performance artist) he shot a short video, called „ I WANT“ in 2016. It´s an adaptation of a monologue, written by Falk Richter for the play „Citta Del Vaticano“, which premiered at the Schauspielhaus Wien.
