Her choreographic works focus on the process of collaboration, play with durational experiences and forms of hospitality, crossbreeding somatic practices and speculative interest with witchcraft, healing, and 'aesthatics' for mutual empowerment. Maria teaches in Berlin's Universities HZT and Bard College and is involved in independent training programs (P.O.R.C.H., ROAR). Since 2017 she is organizing within the queer community as resident choreographer and member of the party collective Lecken Berlin, an erogenous femme forward rave.
