COFFEE TALK with Crystal Schüttler | March 23, 23

»Dance art, contact improvisation and yoga in rural Baden-Württemberg – and how it all goes together« – A cup of coffee with … Crystal Schüttler, choreographer, dancer, dance mediator in Baden-Württemberg

Since 2015, Crystal Schüttler has been running the dance studio “Semilla, Schule für Tanz, Performance & Yoga” in Mühlhausen, Baden-Württemberg, which guarantees her “livelihood” through her teaching activities. In 2019, she officially founded the association “Zeit Tanz Land e.V.”, which organises and produces dance and performance events in rural areas. As a result, productions of various formats have been created and shown: Sight-specific, outdoor & indoor, collaborations with musicians, short pieces, children’s & youth dance pieces, research, film productions. In 2020 she wrote “A set of cards for spontaneous composition & contact improvisation” based on her work as a researching teacher, dancer & choreographer.
Crystal Schüttler will present the developments and challenges in the rural/outer-urban area of her school and the association, as well as the card set and its roots in contact improvisation.

Possible follow-up formats include mentoring, Zoom consultations, labs on composition, CI, improvisation, partnering and/or residencies.
