Elke is a performer, dancer, and teacher who specialises in partnering. She is the founder of Akzeptanz movement, a school and teaching practice that combines contemporary partnering, group dynamics, contact and physical theatre in a way that allows a group of dancers to effectively create an instant improvised composition, using only their body and movement. Currently she is pursuing her MFA in Dance at University of Michigan.

KTCHN (pronounced like the room in your house) is a pianist, vocalist, visual artist and educator. KTCHN’s genre bending style comes from their eclectic music taste and playful personality. As a composer and producer KTCHN weaves themes of nature, connection, and hope. KTCHN  was recently named WDET’s Detroit Tiny Desk Winner for their composition “Willow”. Listen to “Willow” and more at KTCHNmusic.com . KTCHN is so excited to improvise and invert with Ladina Schaller and Elke Kalupar on Oct 12th at Ziggy’s.
