Stefano Taiuti

Butoh dancer, performer, body worker.

Stefano Taiuti is an independent artist based in Berlin who since the end of the eighties has investigated, crossed and mixed body expression techniques by intertwining the principles of modern Western and Eastern theatrical cultures. By experimenting its presence in the halls of small theaters and in the crowded spaces of the clubs of the major European capitals, in video performance experiments and sitespecific installations, Taiuti has made his body the very place of the event, making it fluid and traversable by forms and genres. In his work he explores the potential of the body as a tool for experience and a medium to access alternative states of consciousness. He sees the body as a “spiritual mechanism” and teaches his research in classes and workshops. He designs and realizes dance pieces and performances where the theatrical device acts a generator of multiple metaphors.
