“I love working with the sculptural spatial, in the clash with the poetic”
“Through the works, I seek to evoke the underlying layers of the interpretation, via the sensual and spatial.”
Catia Hauberg Engel works national and internationally with dynamic artistic scenography, visual staging and costumes for theatre, film, opera and performance.
The work includes dramaturgical interpretation and conceptualization, artistic composition of spaces, model building, research and text interpretation, visual storytelling, 3D drawing, painting, sketching, sculpting, color, texture, choice of materials. She is part of close development processes with partners, as good work processes are a high priority, and as a freelancer she is trained in realization and teamwork, with many different work cultures.
