MEDIA / VIDEO TEASER
Saskia Rudat was born 1991 in Dresden. After her studies in Psychology at the Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, she entered the Folkwang University of the Arts to study “physical theatre” in order to become a physical actress, a mover and a maker of performing arts. Her interests include theatre, music and text, as well as dance, acrobatics, choreography, performance art, object theatre and scenography. Together with Ivo Schneider, she founded the theatre company SÄCHSISCHE SCHWEIZ kollektiv which created three full length performances as well as many different small formats. In her works as a soloist and choreographer, she is researching on the connection between abstract movement and specific imagination, audience connection, rhythm, and clownish but pure performer attitude in movement composition. She is performing her short solo works in international physical theatre and dance festivals. Her piece “brainjogging” was awarded with the price for the “Best performer” by the international SoloDuo dance festival in 2017, and with the Audience-Jury Prize by the Explosive Festival in 2019. In Autumn 2019, Saskia Rudat will create her first full length Solo Show. Since 2017, she is engaging in the Physical Theatre Netzwerk to improve visibility and working conditions of physical theatre artists in the district of NRW.
