Bettina Neuhaus: Independent Dance Artist, mentor and certified Skinner Releasing Technique™ (SRT) teacher. Holds an MA in Creative Practice from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in partnership with Independent Dance, London. For over 30 years, Instant Composition in performance and the collaboration with dancers, musicians, visual artists and light designers have been at the heart of her work. Her artistic passion centers especially around the narratives and poetry which unfold in the interplay between dance, live music and language, revealing aspects of our human condition. Since 2010, inspired by her growing interest in human ecology, she has been developing a movement practice in natural environments. She shares these in projects and special workshops. Bettina teaches Instant Composition and SRT at independent studios, art academies and universities in Europe and South America. www.bettinaneuhaus.com
