Access All Areas
is a multimedia dance work about making inaccessible buildings accessible. The concept combines Architecture, Dance, and Film as collaborative mediums. Architectural structures are not just a backdrop, but an integral part of the movement and dramaturgy of the work.
Using the material and spaces we scout out, we will encounter our surroundings and ask ourselves the following questions: What influence does architecture have on movement in space? How do architectural elements influence dance in its form and gestures? And vice versa: how can contemporary dance make architecture tangible?
About
In the past, Mireille Solomon has designed and realized buildings as an architect. In her work as a lighting designer, she has illuminated spaces, squares and exhibitions as well as dance performances. As a freelance architect and lighting designer, she designed the Eintanzhaus in Mannheim together with the founders and is still involved in the project today. In 2020, she decided to break new ground and focus on interior, furniture, set and lighting design.
Her second passion is contemporary dance, which she has been practicing as an advanced dancer for more than 20 years. She has danced in numerous stage plays by Aki Kato. She has also taken part in various professional workshops: Viewpoints with Martin Carnevali, Gimor with Shaked Dagan, Axis Syllabus with Kira Kirch & Antoine Ragot, Welcome to the Joy of making Choreography with Reut Shemesh, as well as professional training with Didier Théron, Jean-Hugh Assohoto, Luches Huddleston Jr. among others. Her dance style was shaped by a 10-day participation in Gaga in Tel Aviv/Israel.
To satisfy her curiosity about dance in film, she took part in Sarah Möller’s film choreography workshop and Yoshiko Chuma’s Shockwave Delay workshop as part of the POOL Festival, Berlin. In collaboration with 20 international and national artists, she contributed her knowledge of spatial design and dance to the creation process of the Outdoor Creation Summit 2022 at the Eintanzhaus.
In her own productions, she combines her passion for construction and movement. In September 2024 she performed her first multimedia dance piece in Mannheim, and in March 2025 she undertook a research residency with Culture Moves Europe in Biella, Italy. In June 2025, she was invited to participate in an artist-in-residence programme at OFFCITY Pardubice, Czech Republic. Her concept earned her an invitation to the BETA Biennial 2026 in Timișoara, Romania.
