In 2022 Tatjana was dismissed from the dance academy in Moscow, where she taught contemporary dance, because of her anti-war stance. This prompted her to continue her artistic activity in Germany, where she had already been working with dance dramaturge Anna Semenova-Ganz for three years. Tatjana and Anna are currently working together with Berlin-based dancers on a dance performance entitled "Cloud Russians", which premiered on the stage of the Lichthof Theater in Hamburg in January 2023.
