HELGA SEEWANN

Mourning dance

There is a time when speechlessness reigns. Here dance can be a language without words that finds its way to the heart …

“with being driven

forward, time races

and sometimes it

simply stands still.

traces are left behind,

sometimes wide and often

tremendously loud.”

In a discussion with the relatives, a framework for a dance during or after the funeral service is created together. Pieces can be selected from a wide range of music.

About me: I have said goodbye to several members of my family and arranged their funerals, as well as danced at various funeral services in recent years. Should you wish to take a very personal approach with me or engage me for a funeral service, I can be reached at:

How a mourning dancer brings the deceased back to life …

“She offers an unusual ceremony for the bereaved. Helga Seewann’s dance is an expression of the stories that relatives tell about their dead.”
