Deborah Hazler About

About

Deborah Hazler works as a freelance artist in dance/ performance and textile art in Vienna, Austria. She develops pieces for the theater, most recently That Rant and Rave, which was seen at ImpulsTanz 2021, and co-directs the independent performance platform Raw Matters. Both her performative and textile works aim to address and comment on social power structures. As a textile artist, she is additionally fascinated by the temporal coinciding of doing, thinking and dreaming, and loves the slowness of weaving, knotting, needle felting and hand quilting.
