Dan Farberoff

Dan studied fine arts at the School of the Arts Institute of Chicago in the early 1990s, later moving to Germany (1995-2000), France (2000-2003) and then the UK (2003-2015), where he received his MA in Performance in Cultural Location from the Dartington College of Arts in 2007. Dan is currently based in Berlin, Germany, since 2015. Dan’s works incorporate a wide range of media, including fine art, new media and interactive technology, live presence and somatic practice. The central themes touch on issues of consciousness and embodiment, connection to place and presence, addressing social and environmental conflict, and an increasing focus on a post-anthropocentric perspective and a deep connection with nature. These draw on his extensive background and experience in meditation, awareness and embodiment practices, digital practices and a wide range of alternative living approaches. His work includes collaborations with world renowned dance companies and choreographers, has been acclaimed at international festivals including special selection at FIPA, screened on major television networks, such as ABC or Channel4, and presented at the London Olympics, the Shanghai Expo and the Kassel Documenta.
