Vita

Alexej «NEON» Tursan

I was born 1970 in Italy. Had no choice but to move to Munich/ Germany in 1974 with my parents.
As a kid I decided to become a Dancer so i got an Education in classic Ballet 1978- 91.
I got pretty good. Even the student Time was a hard thing to handle (..Try to bomb at night and take Ballet- class in the morning) I got Engaged as Dancer / Soloist in various German Theatres until 1994. At that Time I stopped, because somehow I realised that especially the Ballet/ Dance World is full of Psychos, who totally lost contact to human reality. Anyway, I continued with Dance Projects until 2002.
Writing gave me much more Space to discover and realise my own Mission.
I started Writing in 1984. It was my second real fascination. For sure it gave me an important balance to the very one sided Dance Education. One of the most important experiences was my first visit to NYC in 1988. I was one off a lucky kind, because just the second day I met the right people, and did the very right things!
I returned to New York several Times!
