KWAM Collective is a group of independent artists from the fields of dance theatre, live performance, film and therapeutic bodily practices. Co-directed by Klaudia Wittmann, Esme Benjamin and Ana Beatriz Meireles, the collective shares a deep research interest in the human body, its place in society, and its potential for creative expression. We use a unique trans-disciplinary approach to conduct artistic projects and deploy our findings and strategies in the community.
Our creative and community-focused projects have been supported by UK art organisations including The Place, East London Dance, ECHO, Redbridge Drama Centre, Abderrahim Crickmay Charitable Settlement, and the Arts Council England. Our most recent work SOMA, an experimental movement film (2023) is based on a contemporary myth of the genesis of the human body.
