delta® has been an art performer, dancer, choreographer and art director as well as a light, stage and S&M artist since the late 70's.
After initial autodidactic experiments with the German expressionist dance of the 1920s, he devoted himself to the Japanese Butoh dance and founded the first German-Japanese dance company tatoeba-THÉÂTRE DANSE GROTESQUE in Berlin in 1988, together with Minako Seki and Yumiko Yoshioka.
In 1998, he started to devote himself to interactive dance (ritual feet washing) and through this he met Felix Ruckert with whom he has teamed up since 2000. Initially he worked as a dancer in several interactive performances and until now he has also been the administrative head of the Xplore-Festivals, of schwelle7 and of the non-profit association Compagnie Felix Ruckert Berlin e.V.
His many years of private S&M exploration combined with his collaboration with Felix Ruckert have taken him to a new dimension: sadomasochistic rituals developed into a kind of sensual communication with an artistic and philosophical approach. As a workshop presenter he is particularly committed to providing an understanding of the spirituality behind BDSM as love play. In his "light" S&M rituals, artistic expression and loving devotion merge with the imparting of an intense "pleasure-pain-feeling" for the body and a liberating catharsis for the soul.
As part of the creative team of the Xplore-Festivals he is responsible for all production matters, especially the websites, financial affairs, registrations and participant's support.
