Layton Lachman

Layton Lachman (they/them) is an artist based in Berlin. They create performances rooted in somatics, channeling experiential practices into immersive, sensorially complex worlds. Layton is committed to dance practice centered on group study and collectivity—with the understanding that we are always collaborating with those who come before, after, and with us. They consider authorship within the premise of transmission, relation, alliance and ensemble. Their practice includes staged works, films, one-on-one encounters, and the creation of installation environments. In addition to artistic practice, Layton is also a dance teacher and independent curator, currently working in the context of Lotto Royale 2023.
