Otto
Ramstad {Dancing
9 to 5} is a dance and film/video artist
with an insatiable interest in the process of creating kinesthetic visual images
with movement. Ramstad co-directs with Olive Bieringa The BodyCartography Project.
They build dance works and film/video works that investigate the bodies' relationship
to the physical, architectural, climatic, technological and social landscapes
in urban/wilderness and private/public contexts, creating more than 140 events
in the US, Canada, Brazil, New Zealand, Japan, Europe, and Russia. Ramstad also
makes his own work and has performed solo works in Finland, England, New Zealand,
Italy and around the US. He was a scholarship student at Impulstanz in Vienna
in 2005 and received a two year fellowship from the Archibald Bush Foundation
in 2006. In New York he is also dancing with DD Dorvillier and Miguel Gutierrez.
