Meg Stuart

Meg Stuart studied dance at New York University and lives and works as a choreographer and dancer in Berlin and Brussels. In 1994, Stuart founded the company Damaged Goods in Brussels to develop artistic projects in their own working structure. Together they have created more than 30 productions, from solos to large-scale choreographies, site-specific works and installations. In collaboration with artists from various disciplines, Stuart searches for a new language for each piece and often moves in the field of tension between dance and theater. She has worked with Pierre Coulibeuf, Philipp Gehmacher, Ann Hamilton, Gary Hill, Benoît Lachambre, Jorge León and Hahn Rowe, among others. The use of theatrical elements and the dialog between movement and narrative are recurring themes in her choreographies. In the search for new forms of presentation and territories, the identity of her artistic work is constantly being redefined.
