CRACK YOUR HEART OPEN
is a dance meditation.
a contemporary dance performance with guided soft breathing.
where we create space for you:
to drop into the body, to meditate, or simply to breathe.
and when we return to the piece, we do so with full awareness.
we’re all here together, in the present moment, on a deeper level.
it’s a challenge ~ but a deeply inspiring one.
enjoy it all.

BETTINA ROSE JURÁK
Bettina made her choreographic debut at the age of 21 with a dance piece titled 'Analog'. A few years later, she created her second full-length production, 'I’m Not Available, I’m Breathing', which sold out in less than 24 hours.
Since then, she has participated in numerous choreographic research processes, diverse dance performances, theater productions, live concerts, music videos, and films. She has collaborated with actors and musicians as a choreographer and movement coach, guiding hundreds of people in recent years. Most recently, she worked as the choreographer’s assistant on The Testament of Ann Lee.
Currently, Bettina is developing dance works that invite the audience to shift their attention
- not just toward the performance, but inward, toward themselves, even if only for a brief moment.
This piece is part of an ongoing exploration into how we - as artists - can create moments of presence for the audience.
How can we not only build a world on stage, but also invite the audience to inhabit it fully?
To not just witness, but to be - to drop into themselves, even if only for a fleeting moment.
“I find it beautiful that in those rare moments during a live show, there can be a little space for the self.�A space to drop into the body, meditate, or simply breathe. And when you return to the piece, you do so with full awareness.�We’re all in the present moment together, on a deeper level.
It’s a challenge - but a deeply inspiring one.�I’m constantly exploring how to hold space for the precious human beings who are drawn to the art I create.”
