Weins Susanne

Performance Artist, Alexander Technique teacher

Lives in Düsseldorf, Germany

Worked with the Roy Hart Theatre (before 1991)

Roy Hart Voice Teacher since 2001

My philosophy is to allow the whole person’s potential to be expressed within a creative process and to transform this into a performance (‘per-formare’), touching both heights and depths. For me, it is about giving space for the unloved, unrecognized, unincluded aspects of the personality, and creating for them a place of joy and respectful acceptance. This work is for all humankind.
