Bio
Lennart Boyd Schürmann (1994, London) is a theatre maker, author and researcher. In his artistic practice he develops spatial compositions of historical constellations, often departing from archival research. In collaboration with performers and artists, the poetic models of the respective materials are translated into gestural repertoires and performative genres, in search for focal points of aporias inscribed in the modern project. He co-founded ,Bruch‘- a framework for research and production across theatre, art and academia. KLITTERN (aesopica) has been awarded the jury prize of Körber Studio Junge Regie 2022.
Lennart Boyd Schürmann (1994, London) arbeitet als Regisseur und Autor zwischen Theater, bildender Kunst und akademischer Forschung. In seiner künstlerischen Praxis erforscht er in wechselnden kollaborativen und institutionellen Kontexten historische Modelle und gestische Repertoires differenter Erfahrungsräume, die er in ihren ästhetischen wie politischen Implikationen bearbeitet und in räumliche Kompositionen übersetzt. Er ist Gründungsmitglied der Künstler*innen-Plattform ‚K' (2013-2021) und war langjähriger künstlerischer Mitarbeiter des amerikanischen Choreographen Trajal Harrell (2017-2022). Für KLITTERN (aesopica) erhielt er den Preis des Körber Studio Junge Regie 2022.
