Luzie Ackers

Luzie Ackers leads together with M. Cornil the company TheatreFragile since 2001, based in Detmold, Hangar 21. The focus of their work is the performing arts for the public space, the place where social developments are negotiated. In their productions they combine documentary elements with the art of masquerade, with a special focus on participation. They have created numerous productions and projects for public spaces. Ackers creates contemporary masks, which can be seen in projects of their own company and other ensembles. In her intense involvement with physical theater, Ackers developed the need to deal with the " Sprechenden Körper" in an extended form and works according to the Grinberg Method and the Pantarei Approach. She gives workshops in international contexts, works as a mentor and in 2021/2022/23 is part of the jury of the project funding of the Landesbüro Freie Darstellende Künste NRW. She lives in Berlin.
