Philipp Danzeisen

Philipp Danzeisen contributes Live-Music and Composition to the DANCE ON production WATER BETWEEN THREE HANDS.

Born in Essen/Germany, grew up in Frankfurt Main/Germany. Raised in a family of actors, he developed an interest in combining theatre, dance, and music early on.

In 1994 he moved to New York to study drums at the New School University and received his BFA in 1998. Philipp is based primarily in Berlin. Performing credits include appearances in pieces by Einar Schleef, Jan Fabre, William Forsythe/Ballett Frankfurt, Tom Kühnel/Schaubühne Berlin, and Walter Fischbacher (New York). In addition, he has designed and performed several of his own sound projects; for example, a piece at the Artaud exhibition at the Kunstpalast in Düsseldorf. He has also worked as a sound designer and musician for fashion shows by Hugo Boss and Costume National in Milan. In 2005, Philipp toured his project “Ur Jazz Sonate” in Europe and was invited for the Kurt Schwitters exhibition at the Museo de arte moderno in Mexico City. With his own work he also was part of the Artaud exhibition in Kunstpalast Düsseldorf and did drumming for the ZERO Performance Night at Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin.
