Contactimprovisation, which Stefan discovered in 2007, opened up new worlds for him, both internally and externally. Since then he has studied with many teachers, nationally and internationally in the field of Contactimpro, dance improvisation and bodywork and completed the teacher training with Sabine Parzer in 2022.

 

Since 2012 he has been leading dance and contactimpro workshops and organizing contactjams in the Allgäu, and since 2020 he has been practicing Nuad.
What fascinates him most is the wisdom he discovers in corporeality and the down-to-earth access to his innermost being through the body.

As a child and teenager, he was able to explore and develop his physicality through gymnastics and athletics, experiencing sporting competition more as a game.
As a craftsman (formerly as a carpenter, now as an arborist) he tries to create a connection, to use the body as a tool to realize something in this world and at the same time to remain anchored in a clear body awareness. In his work as an arborist, he sees himself as an advocate for trees and a mediator between trees and people.

For him, inspiration and sources of vitality are the connection with nature, preferably alone and in silence by the water and in the forest, genuine encounters with people and the relationships with his loved ones and his children.
