Sam Scheuermann
Sam Scheuermann (°1994, Tilburg) is an interdisciplinary performance artist from the Netherlands, currently based in Amsterdam. In 2013 she started at the Maastricht Institute of performative arts, where she graduated as a director in 2017.
Dancing in the grey zone between theatre and visual arts, she likes to challenge the concept of spectatorship and explores the relational dynamics between audience and performer. She is fascinated by the concept of the gaze of the Other. A gaze that confronts, mirrors, confirms, questions and messes with our existing ideas.
“In a liquid modern life there are no permanent bonds, and any that we take up for a time must be tied loosely so that they can be untied again, as quickly and as effortlessly as possible, when circumstances change - as they surely will in our liquid modern society, over and over again.
– Zygmunt Bauman
