Beatrix Denneborg was born in Vienna in 1961 and describes herself as a cheerful person.
She loves the sea and that is why she has lived in the south of Portugal since 1987, where the ocean embraces the coast. The beauty of nature and contact are good for her soul. After a walk, she feel energized, fully charged and happy.
Meeting and contacting, touching and "flowing" are her concerns as a massage therapist and Biodanza teacher.
Libon-born but with life's twists and turns she is now a baroness (from Barão). She studied one thing and dedicates herself to several. In the midst of her experiments she finds inspiration to do even more things. She doesn't consider herself an artist, but she likes to explore, to work with her voice, her body and her imagination. This is what she tries to do in each edition of the festival with the village and for the village.
