Susana Zimmermann (Buenos Aires, 1932-2021) at the age of nine began taking classical dance classes with Esmée Bulnes and Mercedes Quintana, who at that time was a choreographer at the Teatro Colón. At sixteen, discouraged from continuing her training as a dancer because of her family’s prohibition on touring Italy at Quintana’s invitation, she decides to marry and study philosophy. Her interest in aesthetics leads her to work as personal secretary of Luis Juan Guerrero, renowned writer and professor of aesthetics and philosophy. Years later, upon seeing Dore Hoyer dance on stage, she decided to resume her dance practice – this time, modern dance. The dancer Cecilia Bullaude, who had trained with Renate Schottelius, was her first modern dance teacher. She was one of the precursors of choreographic creation from a vital and ritualistic perspective. In her Dance Laboratory, a space for teaching and experimentation, dancers with or without training improvised movements and choreographies responding to visual stimuli from photographs, sounds and, in some cases, messages provided by the public.
