Otto
Ramstad
(performer-Minneapolis, MN) is a dance and film/video artist with an insatiable
interest in
the process of creating kinesthetic visual images with movement. He is a practitioner
of Body-Mind Centering. Ramstad co-directs with Olive Bieringa The Body Cartography
Project. They build dance works and film/video works that investigate the bodies'
relationship to the physical, architectural, climatic, technological and social
landscapes in urban/wilderness and private/public contexts, creating more than
140 events in the US, Canada, Brazil, New Zealand, Japan, Europe and Russia.
Ramstad also makes his own work and has performed solo works in Finland, England,
New Zealand, Italy and around the US. He was a scholarship student at Impulstanz
in Vienna in 2005 and received a two-year fellowship from the Archibald Bush
Foundation in 2006. In New York he is also dancing with DD Dorvillier and Miguel
