Kim Bormann

Kim Bormann is a German-Chinese movement artist, performer and facilitator. She has an academic background in Education and holds a PGCert in Dance and Physical Theatre. Subsequently she has gained a wealth of experience, teaching, performing, facilitating and, in recent years, has been defining principles for her movement practice CircularDynamics*, developing a holistic process of ‘Mapping | Self in Context’ alongside.

By synthesising movement research with her understanding of Taoist systems, she provides a framework, connecting ‘the conversational body’ to their inner landscape and outer surroundings, deepening somatic understanding and sparking creative potential in and among others.

In the past she has worked with theatre casts, performance artists/poets and has facilitated cycles of performance workshops, furthering the idea of ‘dynamic company’. Currently she is the dancer of Displace Studio’s mixed reality piece ‘Replica’, part of Marley Starksey Butler’s exhibition ‘Compensare: For The Swallows We Weight’ and will soon join Dawn Reeve’s performance research ‘We-dentity – in the company of entangled selves’.

*Inspired by movement itself CircularDynamics is an open exploration that seeks to guide participants dynamically, highlighting possibilities for the moving, dancing, imagining body, whilst seeking lightness and playfulness, transforming limitations into new potential.
