Josephine Haas: Creating Resilience Through Movement Training
A Berlin performer and movement educator who treats the floor as a stage, and resilience as something you can train.
I.The performer
Josephine Haas makes physical theatre, the kind of work where the body carries the story so the words do not have to. Her piece ‘swallow me’ was staged at Berlin’s Ackerstadt Palast in October 2025, and the rehearsal fragments she shares from it read like weather: rock, wave, pressure, release. You do not need a program note to feel what it is about.
Resilience here is not a slogan. It is a curriculum.

II.The teacher
Around the performance work sits a teaching practice with the same spine. Her online course, On Floorwork: Fundamentals & Beyond, went live this June, built, in her words, to guide students through the foundations and onward. The feed in between is a syllabus in public: core conditioning patterns, soft acrobatics, the daily evidence that strength and softness are the same project.

III.Start here
Watch the ‘swallow me’ fragment first; it is the clearest statement of what her movement language can hold. Then look at the floorwork course if you want that language in your own body. This is what 248 means by a discovery platform: you arrived not knowing her name, and you can leave with a practice.
“Upcoming performance of ‘swallow me.’”
“On Floorwork: Fundamentals & Beyond is now live.”
