Lisa Densem is a New Zealand born performer, choreographer and breath practitioner who has worked a.o. with Sasha Waltz, Laurent Chetouane, Sandra Man, Sergiu Matis and Jana Unmüssig. Her own work and teaching has for many years been directed towards the connected-ness, presence, and well-being of the dancing body – research that brought her to the breathwork BreathExperience (based on the work of Ilse Middendorf) and, eventually, to graduating as a breath practitioner in 2019. Since graduating, she has been experimenting with merging her two practices, dance performance and breathwork, exploring how breath can open new perspectives within a dance context. Lisa is a graduate of the MA Soda programme at the Hochschulübergreifendes Zentrum Tanz Berlin (HZT Berlin).
