Marsh Spirit / The Folk Archive [2025]
A 16mm speculative fiction film centred on an autumnal marsh spirit embodied through mask performance. Situated within the ecology of the urban marsh, the work explores reciprocity, land-based practice and alternative ways of relating to the more-than-human world in the city.
Feed Me / Saatchi Gallery - Food of War Retrospective Show [2022]
Feed Me was an embodied ritual that sought to decolonise and reclaim the experience of feeding and eating. Its most recent iteration, presented as part of the Food of War retrospective at the Saatchi Gallery, featured four movement-trained performers who formed a dynamic collective of roaming mouths. Adorned with reflective mirror masks and communicating through a bespoke language, the performers explored consumption, intimacy and collective embodiment.
Bigfoot / The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama Degree Show [2021]
Bigfoot was a digital, site-specific performance developed in collaboration with Los Angeles–based coding artist Todd Anderson. Audiences encountered Bigfoot as it navigated a complex digital landscape, interacting with websites through graffiti-like interventions and algorithmic rewritings. The work invited reflection on disorientation, discovery and the shifting boundaries between human and digital agency.
7042 HaHa’s / Streatham Space Project [2023]
A speculative live art performance using object theatre to envision a near-future where a Lithuanian teenager attempts to dismantle fascism through an illicit outbreak of contagious laughter. Combining lip-sync, animation, clowning and puppetry, the work mobilises absurdity, joy and collective imagination to explore queer resistance, dissent and alternative political futures.
Queer Wild Body / London Performance Space + Wainsgate Chapel [2021-2022]
A series of facilitated workshops and movement research projects exploring queer embodiment, dance practice and somatic methodologies. Developed through collaborations with queer communities and artists, the work investigated how movement can function as a site of experimentation, resistance and collective inquiry. As part of How Queerness Moves at London Performance Studios, Kraftowitz developed queer body wild, an ongoing embodiment research methodology that examines the intersections of queerness, rewilding and somatic practice through contemporary dance and performance.
Performance Commissions / Bermondsey Project Space [2020–21]
Developed bespoke performances for exhibitions including Cuckooland (2020) and a solo exhibition by Marcia X Clayton (2021) at Bermondsey Project Space. Created in response to the exhibitions' themes and visual languages, the works explored the relationship between live performance, audience engagement and the gallery environment.
