ABOUT JANA DÖRFELT

I am a performative artist and interventionist who uses body, visuals, and sound to unlock collective intelligence, embodied imagination, and emergent collaboration.Through lecture-performances, public interventions, auditory experiments, and process-oriented labs, I help organizations and learning environments uncover blind spots, latent dynamics, and emergent possibilities, often in ways that are playful, surprising, and embodied.Selected projects:/ “The Pink Elephant in the Boardroom” – HTW Berlin Teaching Slam 2024: unveiling organizational blind spots with humor, somatic practice, and visual storytelling./ “The Wave” – public-space intervention generating instant collective resonance./ Auditory series “Claudius spannt aus” & “Corporate Hörchen” – experiential narratives for retention and reflection./ In education and organizations, I design experimental learning architectures:/ Teaching “Non-verbal Communication” (ESSEC, Rabat, 2026)/ Teaching “Draw your line: Visual Embodied Leadership” (SHR Berlin, 2026)/ Leading somatic art workshops “Somatic Soul Sisters” (Berlin, 2026)/ Facilitating and co-designing programs such as Innolab, IdeArea, Key Leadership Skills Only Arts Can Train, and Serious Games Slam/ Cross-sector collaboration blending art, science, and organizational systems (4Transfer, Berlin/Dresden)As a member of the Institute of Performative Inquiry (IOPI), I develop curricula that integrate artistic research, somatic practice, and systems thinking – helping participants experience, reflect, and transform their professional and creative practices.Background: Diplom in Visual Communication (KH Weißensee & HTW Berlin), Systems Design (HTW Berlin).#artistic interventions,#somatic art,#performative,#art-based learning,#experimental processes.Let’s connect if you want to explore embodied artistic inquiry in education or organizations – or just spot the pink elephant together.
