One dances on birthdays, at weddings, on the streets, in living
rooms, on the stage, behind the scenes. To communicate joy, sorrow,
as ritual and borderline experience. To dance is to participate actively in the vibration of the universe. Sasha Waltzwas born in 1963 in Karlsruhe, Germany. She studied dance and choreography in Amsterdam and New York. In 1993 she co-founded her company, Sasha Waltz & Guests, with Jochen Sandig. In 1996 she opened the critically acclaimed Sophiensaele, a theater she co-founded with Sandig. In September 1999, Waltz was named one of the artistic directors of Berlin’s Schaubühne am Lehniner Platz where – amongst others – she created the pieces "Körper" (37th "Theatertreffen" Berlin), "S" and "noBody", the choreographic installation "insideout" and "Impromptus". In 2005 Sasha Waltz & Guests once again became an independent company, with Jochen Sandig as artistic director. In January 2005 her first opera-choreography "Dido & Aeneas" had isst world premiere at Staatsoper Unter den Linden, Berlin.
