Susanne Grau works as a dancer, performer and choreographer, currently based in Berlin. Her practice fluctuates in between creating her own work, collaborating with other artists, and working as a performer in diverse projects. She studied Contemporary Dance at University for Music and Dance in Cologne and the MA program „Performing arts practice and visual culture“ in Madrid. In 2013 she was an intern at Movement Research New York. Since 2012 she regularly collaborated with Cologne based MichaelDouglas Kollektiv. In 2015 she received the danceWEB scholarship at ImpulsTanz Festival Vienna. As a performer she worked with artists like Alexandra Pirici, Fabrice Mazliah, Mårten Spångberg, Davis Freeman, Özlem Alkis, Choy Ka Fai, Maayan Danoch, May Zarhy, Juana del Mar Jimenez Infante, Reut Shemesh. Across projects she explores relationships of language, physicality, imagination and rhythm. She is interested in multiple points of attention, the simultaneity of invisible and visible activities and what those splits of attention are inviting to appear. Currently she is training in Rolfing/structural integration – a manual myofascial therapy and movement studies. She finds tools in somatic practices for performing and exploring physical-emotional feedback loops in the process of embodiment. She likes to see performative practice as a facilitation of encounters.
