Brazilian performance Artist Michel Groisman

Michel Groisman develops work that integrates visual art and corporal games, devises equipment to be used with the body in various performances, group games and for interactive purposes with the public. The interdisciplinary nature of his work has earned him art research scholarships from several institutions, including Rioarte (2004), Vitae (2002) and Uniarte da Faperj (2000). His work has been showcased in museums and performance festivals of dance and theater worldwide. Michel started to devise corporal equipments in music school, where he graduated as music teacher. It was then that he discovered that he could invent new instruments, but they ended up not being musical at all, but rather equipment, that serves as a vehicle for self-investigations well as human interaction.
