Unfinished Fridays #121
13 February 2026, 19:30 – 22:30
We are excited to present the next volume of Unfinished Fridays, a recurring dance performance series at LAKE Studios Berlin featuring new works and excerpts by local and international resident artists and special guests.
The evening comprises 4 work-in-progress pieces followed by a moderated discussion to help propel these creations into their next phase of production. We invite you to come early for a beer at our bar (donation-based) or stay late to chat with our local community.
We look forward to seeing you at LAKE!

Playroom Variations
by Billie Bryerton
I’m attempting to reconcile with the child within me, the one who was taught artificial rules and beaten down by them, who was never good enough no matter how hard they tried and decided to pivot, running from ballet until they ended up right back where they started. Now, I feel like a student at clown school. There are no rules. Unless I want to make some–in order to break them again. Funny, how after years of learning how to dance “correctly”, all I want is to recapture the beautiful, strange, silly, and unapologetic “wrong” of a child dancing in the playroom.

The project is based on a continuous letter exchange. An exploration of the revolutionary potential in friendships. With a letter in one hand we are researching performative practices of sending, receiving, transforming words into shared experiences over and over again.

Fluency is beautiful, like a river flowing. We tend to think that being fluent is the standard, or that it’s what we should strive for. But we are distorted, and we are unwell. Those who speak smoothly are merely dancing atop the illusion of health. We often struggle with disfluency. Yet somehow, the dynamism and rhythm born from it captivate us.
