Talitha Maslin is an Australian contemporary dance artist currently working in Europe. Her practice is research-led and process-oriented, operating across choreography, performance, pedagogy, and community-based work. She engages movement as a site for artistic inquiry and critical reflection. Her work draws on embodied awareness, improvisation, and relational empathy as methodologies to address socio-political questions related to feminism and environmentalism. Her artistic research has been developed through works such as La Dolente, Redwood, Wasteland, and SIREN, and shared in contemporary art and performance contexts, most recently in an improvised performance in Crude Saturday at Tic Tac Art Centre, Brussels.
