Kerstin Kussmaul (PhD) is a dance researcher and teacher specializing in somatics and improvisation. Her artistic doctoral research at the University of Auckland, New Zealand explored myofascia in movement. Her most recent work, the matter of fascia, emerged from this research and can be viewed at www.fasciamatters.info. Prior to this she explored creative processes in contact improvisation using embodied cognition. She has worked with artists such as Jan Burkhardt, Lizz Roman, Nita Little, SOMEX (Sabina Holzer, Mariella Greil, maRia Probst, Sylvia Scheidl and others) and many others.
Kerstin leads the Embodied Myoreflex Practitioner training - in collaboration with Dr Mosetter (Konstanz) and ImPulsTanz – of which the second cycle begins at the end of 2024. Part of the training takes place at Artis Umbria, which she is building as an ecosomatic place for movement and doing nothing (artisumbria.com). She founded IDOCDE with the associated symposium, which today operates as the Lace Symposium at ImPulsTanz. She isalso a mentor for ImPacT at ImPulsTanz.
