Lavinia Schulz

Lavinia Berta Schulz (23 June 1896 – 19 June 1924) was a German dancer and actress.

Life Schulz was born in Lübben in 1896. She trained in Berlin after recovering from a major ear operation. She studied dance, music and painting and by 1913 she was involved with the group of Expressionists which included Herwarth Walden's Sturm. She was proclaimed Lothar Schreyer's "first student" and she moved with him to Hamburg where she was not only the costume creator but also a dancer. She danced in a robotic inspired costume in his production of Skirnismól.

Legacy Schulz's costumes were rediscovered in a Hamburg museum in 1989. Berit Glanz' German novel Pixeltänzer is woven around the life and work of Lavinia and her husband and the question of how it relates to the present times.
