01 green asphalt, grey bark
We hunt for details and events – a piece of tape likely left behind a few years ago; a quick change of clothes before the next station.
We listen with closed eyes, with steady eye contact, with a fluid attention.We move along a path, then walk back again, the same number of steps.

02 fictions, stitched – exhibition
The room is filled with accumulated paper. Crumpled A4s marked by dirtyfloors, and the previous touch of hands. A remake of ‘fictions, stitched’ in studio 45 in Hamburg. Every day for three hours, the exhibition space was activated by a durational performance.

03 fictions, stitched
In fictions, stitched, Max Wallmeier and Maia Means explore the intersections of choreography and fiction with text, dry descriptions,
fantasies and lots of paper.From an interest in how words shape the way we perceive physical realities,the work takes a questioning look at everyday experiences:the weather, the date and how the walls sometimes
change meaning.

04 ARTwork
ARTwork is a travelling structure that revolves around a sculpture, made collaboratively by many people; never by all at once, but at least once by every person involved. The sculpture constantly changes and travels from one city. Developed and facilitated from 2022 to 2024, in the context of the EU project RELAY.

05 steps-a choreographic novel
How do we bring bookmaking on stage? In this research project we explore how our relation with writing, formating,binding, and reading can be activated in the traditional set-up of the black-box. From the intersection of choreography and literature, we explore how words shape the way we can perceive physical realities.

06 steps
The artistbook was made during the pandemic and changed its format from a physical book traveling with train to a myriad elements. Mails, postcards, continuously written text documents and traces of drawings and dances were sent between Maia Means and Max Wallmeier, slowly building what we ended up calling a choreographic novel.

07 fallbook
A hand-made publication made of oscillating entries by Max Wallmeier and Maia Means. Gestures thrown into the open were picked up by the other and transformed. By moving back and forth between two cities, actual movement in time and space heavily influenced the making and content of the book, as did the people delivering the book between the cities.

08 on top of things
Performers are on top of things. The weight of bodies breaks objects. Or objects change the form of the body. Glass crack, muscles give in. Or tension builds to hold a stacked moment – until it falls. There is a person on an object. There is attention on the performer. There is language on an action. One thing on top of another. 1+1=2.
