About
Benina Berger is a multi-faceted contemporary vocal artist, dance performer and teacher.
She studied MUSIC&MOVEMENT (BA) which is a widely used method of musical teaching.
It treats music and movement as a single entity.
The use of IMPROVISATION and design promotes and links various areas such as sensory perception, movement, spatial orientation, musical faculties, interaction, communication and self-expression. (1)
During her studies, she focused on dance and vocal improvisation techniques.
Sounds, rattles, phonetics, sound surfaces and soundscapes, tone colors, pattern and experience has become her creative art craft.
Her special interest is the interdisciplinary communication between DANCE and MUSIC.
The Art of Improvisation as a stage performance itself.
A performance in the moment.
She works with different artists, such as musicians, dancers, fine artists and other performers.
Music is movement. Movement is music.
