Sindy Butz is a visual artist, butoh dancer, and
somatic educator. She grew up in the suburbs of
communist East Berlin, Germany before the fall
of the Berlin Wall. She started her dance
education in Ballet, Dance Theater, and Folk
Dance at the age of 6 in the professional
Children's Dance Theater Strausberg under Nora
Jarchow-Dürrenfeld/ Palucca School. She has
been performing since the age of 9. Butz holds a
Bachelor's Degree in Visual Arts of the academy
AKI Enschede (Netherlands) and a Master's
Degree in Art Science, of the University of the
Arts Berlin (Germany), with a focus on
performance art, sculptural installation and
contemporary ceramics. In 2009, equipped with the DAAD research grant
on assistive technology
and wearable art for the Interactive
Telecommunication Program at New York
University, Sindy moved to New York. Shortly
after her arrival, she started training dance
with Vangeline. Butz has performed for Vangeline
Theater in New York at the Brooklyn Museum,
New Museum, Princeton University, Bronx
Academy of Art and Dance, Dixon Place, and
Asian American Art Alliance among others.
