who is c o r p i l i q u i d i?

KIra Kirsch

is a performer/teacher/improvisor/choreographer from Berlin/Vienna who is now based in San Francisco. Kira studied at the Conservatory of Vienna, at tanzpool and received a scholarship from the Austrian Ministry for Culture to independently work with master teacher Frey Faust who developed the theroy, analysis and method called the Axis Syllabus.

In the realm of improvisation she has had the luck to study with and be inspired by visionary women such as Sara Mann, Meg Stuart and Nita Little.

Since 2004 she gets invited to teach technique and contact improvisation internationally at festivals, schools and universities such as ODC & CounterPULSE San Francisco, SEAD-salzburg, Orff-institute, HJS-Amsterdam, Buehnenwerkstatt Graz or Schwelle7 Berlin  and was co-organizing & teaching the international annual Nomadic College for 7 years. January 2010 she became resident faculty & affiliated artist at KUNST-STOFF arts, a new space for the performing arts in San Francisco.

Kira has danced with Half Machine(DK), ABCdance collective/Frey Faust and Cie. Anna Tenta(A). In San Francisco she can be seen in the works of David Slaza, Sara Shelton Mann, Avy k. productions, DanceBrigade and in numerous collaborations.

She is making her own work and producing events under the umbrella of corpi liquidi. Her creative work is rooted in  fascination for theorization & research of form-escaping movement, body politics and other-worldly dynamics.

Recent projects are the duet ‚species’, the solo LOOP and a moving image installation tribute to Pina Bausch. 

Lately Kira has been curious about queer and feminist theory in training and performance and is co-developing a zine (handbook) for dancers and is co-organizing the Critical Practice Group in SF. www.corpiliquidi.com
