Kirsten Heshusius lives and works in Amsterdam. She worked for five years with the art collective Warner & Consorten with whom she developed performances based on the relationship between body and location using improvisation, movement and objects. She has an attentive way of looking at her surrounding and processes social themes at a profound though serene way in her work.

One of her latest performances is ‘Blackbird, a performance about self-censorship and a huge longing for freedom’, which she played at AcciónMAD in Madrid. In ‘Where goes the white when melts the snow’, a PAE organized event last month in Enschede, she shaved a sheep in the old-fashioned way at a graveyard.

In outLINE she will give you a preview of a performance she will be showing at Artfest#2 in Zurich this summer.
