Dear Katrin,
when I read thought Your short mail I had to immediately think about a
recent project with a dance group I did participate as an artist
peformer, stage designer and co – choreographer.
I will send to You a link and two texts, where a befriended
philosopher spontaneously reacted on my work and I answerded in a
second little essay. Unfortunaltely the texts are in German language.
here is a link to a short video of the production..

I would love to hear more form Your program in Zurich and what You are
working on and aiming at.
You are very welcome to call me in Berlin at 0177-7242802.
I am based in Berlin and NY.
In the following I add a short artiststatement.
And a portrait on my work by Bavarian TV… which is already a little bit
older but well done..

About my work
I was born in Germany in 1962. Since 1992 I have been based in Berlin
and NY while travelling extensively to show my work, lecture and teach
at various art schools and universities both in Europe and the USA.
I work with various media (installation, video, photography) but I see
myself primarily as a performance artist, who not only aligns her own
body and personality with different social environments, but also
deliberately leaves behind visible traces. In the tradition of American
and German Performance Art, I interfere with external contexts and mark
the random remnants that other people unknowingly leave behind.
During my performances I act as a presenter and visual translator of
the everyday, rather unimpressive human actions that can take place all
over the world, and I often look for the active participation of the
audience. As a detective would do in a crime scene, I collect evidences
that allow me to initiate an analysis of the sociological and cultural
context in which my actions are taking place.

Dear AACORNers,
I would like to get your feedback, questions, reading recommendations,
contact suggestions or any other sort of comments around the following
theme:
“choreography as a method to induce dynamic in organisational
structures”
Coming from an experience as business consultant (mainly
reorganisation) and dance/Choreography, I have recently started a
Master program in transdisciplinarity at the Zürich University of Arts
(ZHdK), in which I want to work around this theme. Originally I wanted
to already share my thoughts behind this theme with you in this email,
but I am afraid that this would point you already in a certain
direction. As I am just beginning to think about this, I want to be
open for as many directions as this could lead to. Thus, thank you for
your reply in any possible way.
I will try to collect all mails and bring things together to share them
with you later, if you’re interested.
I would also be very happy to know, who of you is interested in
“choreography/dance” related topics in general.
I am looking forward to your responses! Thanks so much
Katrin

Betreff: choreography and dynamic structures
Dear colleagues, A very short comment.I quite agree with Piers
Ibbotson’s reaction of today and of Steve’s before. I have similar
experiences and observations, not to say conclusions about the
question/issue.Since 1980 I work in MD and OD and sometimes made use of
a professional choreographer. Also in that context they tended to work
in the way Piers describes.I even have difficulty with the word design
in context of choreography.Good luck everybody, I enjoy the discussion
from my bed after a hip replacement. Marijke Broekhuijsen ( originally
