Boglárka Börcsök

Boglárka Börcsök (1987, Hungary) is a choreographer, artist and performer based in Berlin and Budapest. She studied dance and choreography at the Anton Bruckner Private University in Austria and at P.A.R.T.S. in Belgium. As a performer she worked with choreographers and artists such as Ligia Lewis, Kate McIntosh, Joachim Koester, Tino Sehgal and Eszter Salamon, with whom she collaborated on several projects in Salamon’s acclaimed MONUMENT series.

Boglárka Börcsök has been working with the artist and filmmaker Andreas Bolm since 2017. By using methods of expanded choreography, their work examines how memory and history are expressed in personal gestures and movements, exploring the fine line between documentary and fiction. In the film titled The Art of Movement, they retrace the development of modern dance in Hungary in the first half of the 20th century by portraying three elderly dancers from Budapest. In the following work Figuring Age, a performance installation based on their previous film, they restaged the personal stories, gestures, and movements of the elderly dancers by creating a ghostly encounter. Bolm and Börcsök are currently developing several performance and film projects.
