Eryka Dellenbach works with the body and film as a many-hats filmmaker, choreographer and performer. Inspired as a girl by her hunter-father's practice of hiding in trees, she privately cultivated the ability to disappear in order to observe flora and fauna, seeding her movement studies. Her current research focuses on relationships between women, the limbic system and its connection to traumatic experience and systems of consent, all of she has synthesized in her longterm performance project Make the Brutal Tender in collaboration with embodied sound artist Hanna Elliott (HOGG). Eryka earned a bachelors degree in anthropology from the University of Illinois at Chicago, and a masters in film from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She works as an instructor of 16mm filmmaking at MONO NO AWARE, performance documentarian, performer and contracted worker.
