About us

Ben Schütz

Producer / Artistic Director

I am Ben Schütz. In 2015 I created the Body Rhythm Festival - the first international festival for body percussion in Germany. Until today I am inspired by the collaboration and friendship with Charles Raszl and the art of Barbatuques from São Paulo, Brazil. Also experiences at the International Body Music Festival and Circle Music Retreats flow into my work. When I am not planning or performing at the festival, I am on the road as a body percussion instructor and percussionist.

Lenja Rother

I am Lenja Rother. Since 2019 I have been supporting the Body Rhythm Festival organizationally and conceptually with great enthusiasm. In particular, I have technically accompanied the online events during COVID to enable the special atmosphere and musical encounter also in the digital world. I continue to be involved in the "real world" as well, because music and dance accompany me and I am the biggest fan of this project. I also work as a freelance consultant and systemic coach.

Thank you for eight years together, dear Detlef!

Producer Detlef von Boetticher says goodbye to the festival team

"Dear people, life turns out differently than you plan! After eight years of working together and developing the Body Rhythm Festival together, we are now parting ways in 2024.
I look back very gratefully on our time together, which has enriched my life with wonderful, unforgettable moments and people."
