Doris Geist

Doris Geist participated as a dancer in almost all the major productions of tanzbar_bremen’s first 10 years.

Deaf herself, her idea to deal with the deaf-blind American author Helen Keller inspired the dance theatre piece RAUSCHEN.
For the model project KompeTanz she was a permanent staff member of the association for 3 years.

In 1999 she first encountered New Dance / Improvisation at tanzwerk bremen. There and at bewegungsart Freiburg she continued to train in contemporary dance, contact improvisation and choreography and expanded her movement repertoire. Doris Geist teaches dance theatre, new dance, improvisation and sign language and choreographs her own pieces. In her own school, Gebärdenfreude, she gives sign language lessons.
Currently she teaches workshops on request – alone and in tandem – mainly combining contemporary dance and sign language.
