About
WHO
WE ARE
Awake Crew explores movement as a language for examining human experience: identity, connection, transformation, and the relationship between the individual and the world around them.
A Berlin-based contemporary dance and performance collective, founded in 2024
by Ukrainian choreographer and artist Roman Varava. The
collective brings together 18 professional dancers with
diverse backgrounds and movement practices.
Our work moves between stage performance, visual art, film and commercial
collaboration. The choreography lives inside traditional theatrical spaces
and in unconventional environments alike. Based in Berlin, working
internationally.
