Meg Stuart / Damaged Goods (BE/US)

BIOGRAPHY

Meg Stuart is a dancer, choreographer and director who lives and works in Berlin and Brussels. Since founding her company Damaged Goods in 1994, she has created more than thirty productions, ranging from solos and duets such as BLESSED (2007) and Hunter (2014) to large-scale choreographies such as VIOLET (2011) and CASCADE (2021), video works, site-specific creations and improvisation projects. She has developed an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach to dance, driven by experimentation and improvisation, centered around themes of identity, memory, and the unseen forces that move through the body and the energetic landscapes we inhabit. Stuart transmits her knowledge through workshops and masterclasses both in and out of the studio. Since 2016, she and Mark Tompkins have shared their passion for improvisation under the title One Shot, comprising workshops, lectures, performances and a book. Stuart has received many awards for her work, notably the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the Biennale di Venezia in 2018, and she is a 2023 recipient of the Guggenheim Fellowship. Damaged Goods has an ongoing collaborationwith Kaaitheater in Brussels and HAU Hebbel am Ufer in Berlin.
