Marisa König Beatty - König Beatty Projects

(she/her) My parents like to say I left the womb running, so it was no surprise when I found my calling in dance. Originally from Texas, I began my career in NYC as a performer and choreographer after graduating from Barnard College in 1997. Through my experience co-founding and directing a multidisciplinary performance space in Brooklyn, I discovered my calling behind the scenes: as a curator, arts administrator, program manager, and all around cultural advocate.  Love and life moved me to Brussels in 2007 where I expanded my artistic network through various projects and became a mother. Twice.  Since moving to Switzerland in 2012 I have developed several programs focused on intercultural dialogue intended for audiences and culture-philes of all ages and nationalities through my own company, könig beatty projects.  Additionally, my alter-ego Kulturmama puts out a regular, English-language e-newsletter featuring tips on local cultural happenings and events, as well as ways to activate around topics of diversity and inclusion.  To sign up for the newsletter or find out more visit my website!
