Maria Seisenbacher

Maria Seisenbacher (MS) is a poet and translator into easy language who lives and works in Vienna. MS holds workshops for people with and without disabilities and received several awards and residencies. For MS, poetry is an interplay of observation and perception that is transformed by language into a completely different mystery. Being the child of a binational partnership and raised in only one language, MS is intimately aware of the fluidity and importance of language and identity.Through the practice of butoh (Japanese expressive dance), MS explores the culture of one of her parents without language and tries to combine poetry with movement. more information: www.mariaseisenbacher.com
