Bauge is a performance artist living and working in the Netherlands. Her work challenges the boundaries of gender, labor, and identity, using the body as a tool to deconstruct societal norms and provoke critical reflection.
Artistic Practice
Raised in Belarus and shaped by a life across borders and disciplines, Bauge’s performance work engages the body as a site of inquiry into power, resistance, and the social mechanisms of control.
Her practice is rooted in durational and site-responsive performance, often employing minimalist actions, repetition, and absurdity to explore themes such as gender, labor, visibility, and institutional critique
Pedagogical and Research Interests
As an educator, Bauge designs and facilitates experimental learning environments that integrate embodied practice with critical theory.
Her teaching explores performance art as a method of research—an approach that activates somatic intelligence, collective inquiry, and creative resistance.
She works across disciplines to develop formats that support artistic autonomy, reflexivity, and dialogic learning
Current Research
Her current research investigates performance art as a method for understanding and resisting trained violence and gendered power within state-sanctioned systems
