about
Born in Bern (Switzerland) in 1970, Ania Losinger is following her dream, that of finding a creative form of expression that unites dance and music, in equal measure, in a single person. She acquired basic athletic training in the National Rhythmic Gymnastics Squad. Afterwards she practiced various dance forms until she became acquainted with flamenco dance. Many years of flamenco training in Switzerland followed, as well as several trips to learn flamenco in Spain. She studied rhythmics at the Conservatory in Zurich, worked as a rhythmics and piano teacher, accompanied modern dance classes on the piano and gave flamenco lessons. From 1997 to 1999 she was engaged as a dancer in the dance company "Flamencos en route". Together with instrument maker Hamper von Niederhäusern, she developed the floor xylophone XALA, an instrument that could be danced on. Thus she fulfilled her desire to find a sensually abstract synthesis of music and movement. She developed her first solo programme "Soneto" (Director: Christian Mattis), and travelled throughout Europe with it. In 2001 she produced her first solo CD, "Ania Losinger XALA" (Tonus-Music-Records), together with composer and producer Don Li. National and international guest performances of the “Ania Losinger XALA” CD live concert followed. A selection of additional productions with Xala: Tonus-Music for Xala and symphony orchestra / 2003; Live projects: "The Longest Journey" / 2003 and "Time-Experience" / 2003; DVD "New Ballet For Xal
