Tanzprojekt Elfi Schaefer-Schafroth
The Swiss-based Tanzprojekt Elfi Schaefer-Schafroth consists of choreographer, dancer, professor of dance Elfi Schaefer-Schafroth, designer Martin Schaefer, and director Jochen Heinrich. In cooperation with other artists the Tanzprojekt creates powerful and uniquely expressive interdisciplinary dance theater solos, which have been performed throughout Switzerland, in Germany, Austria, Mexico, India, the United States, and at various national and international festivals.
We created and performed six feature-length dance theater solos, The Red Book, Lichtungen, amourire, noa, millefeuille and KörperSand enchanting the audience and receiving enthusiastic reviews. Lichtungen was honored in the Annual Review of the New York Times 2004. Bitz'n Pieces is a collection of shorter duos, trios and group works created together with other artists.
We strongly believe in the impact of dance. Therefore we collaborate with choreographers, dancers and artists around the world and created the successful series DanceXchange, in which students share an evening with professional dancers and choreographers.
