Artist, curator, dramaturge, choreographer
Barbara Schmidt-Rohr is a freelance artist, curator, choreographer, dramaturge and filmmaker. She studied German language and literature, philosophy and politics in Heidelberg and dance and choreography in Amsterdam and New York in the early 1980s. She has lived in Hamburg since 1992 and has repeatedly developed new performance formats in the context of the artists' collective Tanzinitiative Hamburg, which were consistently generated in the encounter of artists from different genres along the lines of artistic questions. She has worked as a curator and dramaturge in numerous local and international collaborations.
In her own work, she currently realizes productions at the interfaces of choreography, scenic installation, video art and the digital with changing co-authors and teams. She combines her concerns with a very unique aesthetic signature, resulting in creations that are very close to the visual arts and film. She has been dealing with the increasingly urgent ecological crises for years and also collaborates with children and young people, whose fears and aspirations for the future flow into her works. As a dance dramaturge, consultant and mentor, she currently accompanies numerous choreographers from Hamburg and Berlin. She was on the board of the umbrella organization for the independent performing arts in Hamburg for 8 years and is now active in cultural policy on the association's advisory board. She has been a member of the Senate Dance Jury in Bremen since 2021.
