ELIAS KRAFT
I am a performer, dancer, entertainer primarily working with physical theatre, dance, movement and humor.
The corporal ways of expressing, communicating and conducting space and time has intrigued me more and more since starting dancing at the age of 16.I am a founding member of the group
Useless Machines that since 2022 has performed and taught workshops around Europe.I graduated from SEAD in Salzburg in 2022 and has since worked with Norrdans and ilDance. I have and is continously looking for places and spaces to enjoy the moment of sharing. Be it through dance or conversations.
