> About Miriam Coretta Schulte 

Miriam Coretta Schulte, 1987, is a theater maker and performer. She grew up in Frankfurt and studied Performance Studies and Theater Direction in Germany and France, before dividing her time between Switzerland and Egypt. Schulte develops performative settings, lectures and workshops both on and offstage, often collaborating with dancers and choreographers to examine the potential and powerlessness of bodies and their fictions.  Both fascinated by the way we consider the usefulness of bodies and determined to rediscover their lost capabilities, she co-developed “Hack-No-Tech”, a dance technique used to store information in the body through muscle memory.
