David Suivez (Zurich, Switzerland) is an artist and facilitator who trained at Zurich University of the Arts (BA), among other institutions. He works across disciplines as an internationally experienced DJ, movement and presence facilitator, playfight facilitator and relationship coach at the intersection of art, somatic practice and social research.
His current projects include Open Dance at Tanzhaus Zurich, the Presence Remains practice, and relationship and group work within the framework of SharingCircle, with a focus on relationship agreements, men's circle work and individual coaching. His work explores presence, interpersonal dynamics and the creation of clear, experience-based spaces.
His style combines playful exploration with precise perception, improvisation-based work and an alert attitude with a Zen stick mentality. At its core is humanity as an embodied process in which analysis and intuition enter into a lively dialogue.
Open Dance
David Suivez
Open Dance moves between ecstasy, irritation and silence. Music shifts from physically driving rhythms to dense soundscapes to fragmented voices, samples and unusual breaks. Familiar sounds are slowed down, pitched, looped or deconstructed. Expectations are deliberately subverted so that perception is not consumed but embodied. Inspiration is provided by formats such as Ecstatic Dance and Wild Card – expanded to include an exploratory, experimental element.
The room is almost completely darkened. When visual control is removed, the eyes and evaluation mechanisms relax. Other senses come to the fore: proprioception, balance, inner impulses. Movement arises not from imitation, but from self-perception. The question ‘Who am I when no one sees me?’ becomes physically tangible.
