 
                                                        Since many years Bernd Knappe 
is exclusively engaged in contactimprovisation, 
after freelance profession as painter, musician and architect.
He is especially interested in the question, how 
people without specialised dance-background, 
body-training or a certain knowledge can find an 
easy, effortless and playful way into physical 
improvisation as an art-form.
His field of research is along the border between the private 
and the political on the dancefloor.
He supports and initiates integrative dance projects 
and cooperates with "DanceAbility-International".
