Inge Koks
Within this realm she worked as a project co-ordinator - with contemporary dance festival Springdance, dance re-enactment festival cover#2, the artist initiated workshop series We Live Here: An Academy (edition 2011) and for GHOST, a project by Berlin based choreographers Hyoung-Min Kim and Tommi Zeuggin.

As a curator - with TANZTAGE BERLIN (editions 2006 & 2007) and more recently Theater Frascati in Amsterdam (2010 – 2012). She curated also the 2012 edition of TANZNACHT BERLIN, a festive 5 days festival in which Berlin dance was being mapped out by it’s interrelated and urban dimensions.
An important element in Inge’s work in the art field is the anthropological perspective, being interested in both the structuring forces in the art world as a whole and more specificly in thematics like solidarity, publicness, multiculturalism a.o. It finds it’s translation in an ongoing involvement in community oriented projects, starting with Springdance community art project [u bevindt zich hier] from 2004 until 2005, Expeditie Noord (2006) and Expeditie Nieuw-West (2007) of theatre group Public Amusement, Wijkjury (2010-2011), a project by Zina Platform/Female Economy with Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam and Theater Frascati, the symposium Explorations in Solidarity within festival Something Raw (2012) and a special commission to choreographer Jo Parkes and TanzZeit for TANZNACHT BERLIN 2012 resulting in the project Ufer / Outside.
At the moment Inge is collaborating with the Amsterdam based theatre Podium Mozaïek as curator and initiating and developing her own projects.
Tom Mustroph
Tom Mustroph, born in Berlin, works in Berlin and Palermo as a freelancing author and dramaturge.
Having studied literature, theatre and cultural sciences in Berlin and Paris, he operates in social subsystems as diverse as theatre, the arts scene and sports.
He takes a keen interest in querying how responsible work may succeed under conditions of minimal moral standards (occasionally in theatre and the arts), and what constellations systematically lead to failure (doping, game manipulation and the Mafia).
