About

Shumi @cre8ve_creature

When people ask me what I do, my answer can vary.
I am mostly an artist, and a writer.
Frequently, I am an actor and a mover - a raw emotion captured through film or in immersive theatre projects.

I'm a witch, and words are my wand.
I am an experience hunter and a nomad.
Often, I'm a curious explorer, a friend, an adventure-seeker, or a listener. I'm all of those things and more.
Being things other than one's work helps to create connections with people that steer conversations into the unknown - and that's where the magic happens, where some of the groundbreaking insights and inspiring ideas come from.
Other, come from a great nap.

INDIVIDUAL ARTISTIC PRACTICE

What I Do:

Clothes & Headpieces

A handmade collection of organic outfits & crowns created during an art residency in a renaissance palace and inspired by its history and charm.

Multidisciplinary Art

After participating in multiple international film, theatre, and art project, am I'm currently diving into the wolrd of art & creative direction.

Poetry & Writing

I have worked as a ghost-writer for 3 years now. I performed my poetry at multiple venues and participated in poetry-slams & competitions.

Manifesto

We are all the alchemists of art,
transmuting the raw materials of human experience
into a kaleidoscope of creative expression.

My canvas is the world, my medium is the fusion of disciplines,
and my purpose
is to awaken the dormant magic within myself and others.

COLLECTIVE ARTISTIC PRACTICE

The MindTwitch Collective

is an interdisciplinary theatre collective I have co-founded in 2024, blending physical theatre, ethnic vocals, dance, immersive projections, and live music & soundscapes generated in real-time in Ableton. We aim to create thought-provoking pieces that invite reflection on the tensions and merging points between the individual and society while addressing current global struggles. We use art as a lens to explore disconnection, fragmentation, and the artist’s role in shaping societal dialogue. As emerging professionals, we are still defining our artistic language and territory. We crave artistic exploration and gaining a deeper understanding of the structures that shape our lives and influence our work in arts.

Work Up To Date:

Design

I designed hand-drawn logos and packaging for multiple brands, and creative websites for musicians. This year I also launched my first collection of handmade garments & headpieces.

Installation Art

I created interactive, immersive art installations for varied productions & venues in Berlin & abroad, including Laughing Lizard Playhouse, Dream World "Limbo" Edition, Camino Art House Gran Canaria, and "Industria" in Copenhagen.

Film & Theatre

I have participated in multiple independent film & theatre productions in Berlin and abroad, as an actor, dancer, playwright, and lately also director of my first play titled "The Line".

FAQ

How do I care for my macramé outfits and painted clothes?

To keep your pieces looking their best, store them in a dry place and avoid exposure to oil & coffee stains, and lotions. Clean your macramé outfits, by submerging them in a warm, soapy water & rinse thoroughly, when you notice they cought a smell of sweat or dust. You can wash painted pieces (jeans & pants) in a washing machine.

Do you offer custom designs?

Yes! I can create a custom outfit or artwork tailored to your event or needs. Contact me to discuss ideas and we'll collaborate together to create a unique piece.
