The Other Festival - 2001    Dec 1- 7, 2001. Museum Theatre, Chennai (Madras) India.   Music. Dance. Drama. Art. You.

SUSANNE KIRCHNER (Germany) focusses on the development of contemplative body  
training and over the years has held lecturerships at the Academy of Art  
Berlin in body sensitizing training as well as for 'Dance Sculpture", dance  
sculpture / behaviour and space at the Academy of Art Nunberg and Leipzig  
and the Academy of Art Weibensee and Stuttgart.  A versatile stage performer  
in Germany and abroad, she has been an independent chorographer and director  
since 1996. 

"Dance Sculpture" is the result of the research for a body expression which  
uses the human body without the help of other requisites, which dates back  
to the archaic worlds but yet remains current due to the extreme handling of  
time. Different states of being are reduced to a concentration on gestures  
and balance, and this unfolds into moved and abstract body forms. Absolute  
silence focusses the observation of the audience on themselves and is then  
transmitted to the environment.
