Belinda Winkelmann is an independent choreographer, performer, and producer. She studied Dance, Improvisation, and Performance at bewegungs-art Freiburg (DE) and holds a Master’s degree in Social Sciences from Fribourg (CH). In addition to her artistic work, she teaches dance in combination with somatic and eco-somatic approaches.
The question of the relationship between humans and nature lies at the heart of her artistic practice and serves as the starting point for a continuous exploration of the coexistence of all forms of life. The beauty, rawness, honesty, and transformative power of nature inspire her artistic engagement with change, vulnerability, and strength. The uniqueness of each human being encourages shifts in perspective, raises fundamental questions about humanity and coexistence, and teaches respect for all forms of existence.
For Belinda Winkelmann, art is a deeply human phenomenon rooted in sacred ritual. She sees dance as a medium for creating awareness and inspiring social change. Her works often emerge from artistic dialogue with other creators.
In her movement language, she gives form to what cannot be expressed in words – pure, poetic, and contemplative. Her aesthetic is radically reduced to the essence of artistic expression, while leaving space for the audience’s imagination.
