Susanne Engbo is a Danish choreographer, movement researcher and performance artist. She is co-founder of the performance group Kant Fabrik. Since graduating from the Northern School of Contemporary Dance (2014), she has developed her performances through her own solo practices and in collaboration with established choreographers such as the award-winning dance theater artist Gary Clarke (UK). Since moving to Berlin, Susanne has focused on creating and expanding Kant Fabrik's repertoire alongside scenographer and visual artist Anne Sofie Vermund. Her aim is to always create something real and personal, something that can be reflected to the outside world and yet reflect back to her intact. Using Susanne's own established choreographic methods, she strives to create by expressing herself through a “living body poem”. Movement influenced by humanity as a whole meets movement that embraces the introverted self. She believes that whether the performing arts involve an audience or not, the interactions should be active and fragile, constantly changing and adapting.
