Dawn Reeves

Dawn Reeves is a performance artist and film maker, currently studying for an MA in expanded choreography. Dawn has long-term practice working with four alter-egos to make performance art, film, movement pieces and action-paintings. The alter-egos are constantly in action, often in the public space, engaging with others and with objects. Dawn’s research explores how working with different embodied versions of ourselves helps us create new ways of being together; more we – community and relationality, and less I – individualism. It is full of joy, curiosity and disruption.

Her performance-based film Full full, half half (2023) featuring alter-ego Tatyana, a Czech gymnast, was selected for the Cannes Artist Film Festival, the European Cultural Centre Institute of Performance Art Exhibition in Rome and 8 film festivals across Europe. A founder member of TAA Galerie collective in Berlin, she has performed widely in Germany and the Netherlands. A British/Irish artist, Dawn works between her studio in Nottingham, and in the University of ARTez, Netherlands.
