David Suivez

Biografie
David Suivez (Zürich, Schweiz) studierte Fotografie und mediale Künste (BA) an der Zürcher Hochschule der Künste ZHdK. Als erfahrener DJ und Musiker, professioneller Yoga-Lehrer und doppelte Jungfrau ist er eine Persönlichkeit, die mit Präzision und Lifestyle-Awareness für holistisch-stilsichere Konzepte mit punktgenauer Umsetzung, besonders für ein junges Publikum steht.

Seine Recherche konzentriert sich auf das Verhältnis von Bewegung als Sinnbildungsprozess, körperlicher Präsenz und spielerischen Elementen. Ziel ist es, eine Methode an den Grenzen der Körperlichkeit zu entwickeln, die Analyse und Intuition vereint und den Dialog zwischen Spiel vs. Kampf, Kollaboration vs. Konfrontation öffnet.

Er kuratiert seit 2016 die renommierte Movement Masterclass am Tanzhaus Zürich, ein multidimensionales Gefäss, das internationale Lehrer zu Workshops einlädt, die der Erforschung von Bewegungsformen dienen und die Welten des Tanzes, der Körpertherapie und Kampfkunst auf Prinzipienebene verbinden. So konnten u. a. schon Fighting Monkey und Nik Bärtsch gewonnen werden.

Inspiriert von Youth Culture und Stoizismus, studierte der Schweizer mit indonesisch-chinesischen Wurzeln unter anderem im Yoga Barn Ubud diverse Yoga-Stile, die Grundlagen der Craniosacral Therapie, Thai-Massage bei Krishnataki im Sunshine House und Play Fight bei Bruno Caverna – die Grundlage für sein globales Teacher Netzwerk. Seine internationale Tätigkeit als DJ für Theaterproduktionen, Kunst- und Fashion Performances, Corporate Events und Clubs, erweitern seinen Radius ständig.

Testimonials
„David guided me through a wonderful journey through the place he created, through the music, the darkness, and the thoughts he evoked. Sometimes I felt a deep awareness and in other moments I felt like sinking deep down to a place where my identity faded away and music and dance blurred together.“

„Vielen Dank für den open dance jam Nachmittag! Die grosse Vielfalt an Musikrichtungen/Variation an Liedern und toll „gemixte“ Stilbrüche brachten mir die Möglichkeit die daraus resultierenden Emotionen wahrzunehmen, zu erforschen und über die Bewegung auszudrücken. Danke, dass du den Raum geschaffen hast, sich der Musik hinzugeben, sich selber näher zu kommen, seine Grenzen zu entdecke und auszutesten. It was a crazy ride! Gerne wieder “

„What an adventure! Today I danced for three hours without a break. My friend David offered what he called a “Healing Dance Jam” and it turned out to be a peak experience for me. David is a phenomenal DJ and in a darkened room at “Tanzhaus Zurich” he created a tapestry of music and sound for about twenty participants. We moved to the sounds, each on a private journey, never touching or speaking. We were just following the musical direction of the puppet-master at the mixing table. It was pure magic. Most amazing of all was that, at my age, I could keep moving (and enjoying!) for that length of time. My body grew more liquid and movable as time went on. Afterwards I walked home (slowly), stepped into a warm bath and swallowed an ibuprofen in anticipation of tomorrow’s tired old joints. But it was oh so worth it.“

"Whether you're in pursuit of meaningful connections to movement, looking for boom and bust flow cycles or a journey through space and time fed by rhythmic vibrations and sound/setting induced emotions, David radiates this energy. I come out glowing each time, feeling the community tribe, rawness and sensuality."

"Eine wunderbare, begleitete Reise zu dir selbst. Wenn du dich darauf einlässt, ist David der perfekte Puppenspieler dafür."

”Davids Open Dance Jam is a truly amazing event. With his sound and music set David creates a true art space where for me unforeseen encounters can happen, where I sweat losing and rediscovering myself, my emotions and thoughts. It brings me a bit closer to life I feel and its a lot of fun shared openly and freely in a save space.”
