Yeliz Pazar
Yeliz Pazar is a dancer and choreographer. She is founder of nutrospektif dance collective (2012) who were tanzhaus nrw Factory Artists in 2020. The work is focussed on making hip hop culture, breaking, house dance, popping, locking and waacking more visible on stage to explore new creative approaches in dialogue with the contemporary dance landscape. Choreographic works include „Kinder der Nacht“ Schauspiel Köln, „Get Together“ Opera Cologne and „NUTRO 10 – a neutroperspective“ at tanzhaus nrw. In collaboration with Bahar Gökten as part of the collective and tanzhaus nrw they curated the festival „Moving Concrete,“ „ocean notion“ and „the weirdness is consistent“ were choreographed as a coproduction with „Step by Step“ Ballett am Rhein and tanzhaus nrw.
