Die Performancekünstlerin Nathalie Fari (geb.1975) ist seit 13 Jahren in Brasilien
und Deutschland mit zahlreichen Soloarbeiten vertreten. Zusammen mit verschiedenen
Künstlern aus den Bereichen Kunst, Theater, Tanz, Musik und Mode realisiert sie zudem
laufend gemeinsame Projekte. Eines der großen Themen der Deutsch-Brasilianerin ist
die persönliche (biographische) Verortung und die permanente Suche nach Heimat und
Identität. Ihre Performances bewegen sich an der Schnittstelle von darstellender und
bildender Kunst. Seit 2004 lebt sie in Berlin und vermittelt ihre Kunst in eigenen Workshops.
In ihrer orts- und körperbezogenen Kunst integriert Nathalie Fari Einflüsse des postmodernen
Tanz-Theaters ebenso wie des japanischen Butoh. Bereits mit elf Jahren begann sie an
mehreren Tanzschulen Unterricht zu nehmen (Modern, Jazz und Afro Dance). 1993 besuchte
sie die Privatschule für Performing Arts Stage School in Hamburg. In São Paulo absolvierte
sie ein Diplomstudium der Kunstpädagogik und studierte 1996 an der renommierten
Theaterschule CPT (Centro de Pesquisa Teatral) von Antunes Filho, deren Methode u.a.
auf Butoh basiert. 2009 schloss sie mit dem Master of Arts ein Studium mit den Schwerpunkten
Kunst im öffentlichen Raum, sowie perfomative Handlungen im Raum an der Weißensee
Kunsthochschule Berlin ab. Seit vielen Jahren praktiziert und unterrichtet sie Ashtanga
Vinyasa Yoga.

The performance artist Nathalie Fari (born in 1975) has performed numerous solo works in
Brazil and Germany over the last 13 years. She also puts together on-going joint projects
with different artists from the art, theater, dance, music and fashion worlds. One of the
German-Brazilian’s biggest themes is personal (biographical) displacement and the
permanent search for a homeland and identity. Her work is located at the interface between
performing and fine arts. She has been living in Berlin since 2004 and teaches her art in
her own workshops.
Nathalie Fari integrates influences from post-modern dance theater as well as Japanese
Butoh dance into her location- and body-related art. She started taking dance classes at
the age of 11 (modern, jazz and afro dance). In 1993, she attended the Stage School,
a private school for the performing arts in Hamburg. She completed a degree in art pedagogy
in São Paulo and in 1996 studied at Antunes Filho’s renowned CPT (Centro de Pesquisa
Teatral) theatre school. Filho’s methods are based partly on Butoh dance. She completed
a Master of Arts degree at the Weißensee School of Art and Design in Berlin, thereby focusing
on art in the public sphere and perfomative actions in spaces. She has been practicing
and teaching Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga for many years.
