Bio
Lennart Boyd Schürmann (*1994, London) studied philosophy, science of religion, philology and law in Berlin, Paris and Karlsruhe and stage direction at the Münchner Kammerspiele. In his works, choreographic models are developed and constellated around aporias inscribed in the modern project, in search of ways to communicate between irreducibly different perceptions. Together with curator Moritz Nebenführ, he works as , Bruch‘- in transnational collaborations between theater, visual arts and academic research. He is currently developing intimacies.com, a platform for encounters between performers, audiences and fictions.
Lennart Boyd Schürmann (*1994, London) studierte Philosophie, Religionswissenschaft, Philologie und Jura in Berlin, Paris und Karlsruhe sowie Regie an den Münchner Kammerspielen. In seinen Arbeiten entwirft er choreographische Modelle und experimentelle Problemkonstellationen als kontemplative Spielfelder prekärer Sinnwelten und (anti-)moderner Emanzipationsbemühungen. Gemeinsam mit Kurator Moritz Nebenführ realisiert er unter dem Namen , Bruch‘- transnationale Kollaborationen zwischen Theater, bildender Kunst und akademischer Forschung.
