Meg Stuart (born 1965 in New Orleans) is an American choreographer and dancer who lives and works in Brussels and Berlin. Her company, Damaged Goods, operates from Brussels since 1994. (wikipedia)
We created intense situations daily of two people in a landscape--on holiday, on Mars, on a dying planet. Sometimes we would be an elderly couple, sometimes kids at a picnic.
We start out weeping in lawn chairs; by the end we are actually wearing the landscape, joyfully at one with it.
I was discovered out of nowhere--I hadn't even produced a concert. I was helped from the very beginning of my career in Europe at a much deeper level.
There are trained audiences here that respect dance as a form. Europe invests in its artists over the long haul.
