Kathrin and Rebeca first met and worked together in Liverpool in 2001, where the fire for their future partnership as director/choreographer team was ignited. After moving to London in 2003 they founded Bottlefed and started working with different artists creating a pool of freelance collaborators including performers, designers and musicians, who regularly work with Bottlefed on a project basis.

We are currently planning upcoming performance projects for 2009, including performances at Jacksons Lane Theatre in London, April 09, and at Schlachthaus Theater in Berne, Switzerland, in September 09.

Education & Corporate work

In 2005 and alongside our performance work, we started delivering creative workshops and performance projects for young people and adults in schools, community settings and theatres across the UK and have been running various long- and short-term projects across the country. Most recently, Bottlefed Workshops ran 'Larkin About', a site-specific youth theatre project funded by Richmond Council, which took place in Murray Park, Whitton. We have
also been invited back for 2009, to continue our work as Associate Lecturers as part of 'Creativity Matters', a research project for London University of Arts, which focuses on the impact of creativity in early learning.

In 2007, we began offering corporate workshops, which are aimed at companies interested in the personal and professional development of their employees.
