A Dance Performance by Natalia Murariu

İÇ DÜNYALARIN ŞİİRSELLİĞİ

Balerin ve koreograf Natalia Murariu bedensel dille iç dünya ve ruh hallerini anlatıyor. Doğal kronolojinin ötesine giden insan yaşam döngüsünün bir yansımasıdır izleyeceğimiz bu dans performansı. Sadece düşünce ve projeksiyon değil, daha çok yaşanmış yoğun anların anılarıdır.

POESIE INNERER WELTEN

Die Tänzerin und Choreographin Natalia Murariu erzählt in ihrem körperlichen

Ausdruck von inneren Welten und Seelenzuständen. Es ist eine Reflektion des menschlichen Lebenszyklus, welche sich über natürliche Chronologie hinwegsetzt.

Es sind nicht nur Gedanken und Projektionen, vielmehr Erinnerungen an intensive Augenblicke im Leben.

Ich lebe mein Leben in wachsenden Ringen,

die sich über die Dinge ziehn.

Ich werde den letzten vielleicht nicht vollbringen,

aber versuchen will ich ihn.

Hayatımı genişleyen halkalar içinde yaşıyorum ben.

Nesneler üzerinde açılan halkaların

Sonuncusunu başarmak belki gelmez elimden;

Yine de başarmaya çalışacağım.

I live my life in growing rings

That reach across this World of things

Perhaps I’ll never complete the last,

but that’s what I mean to try.

Rainer Maria Rilke

Natalia Murariu hakkında:

Balerin Natalia Murariu Moskova'da doğdu. Bükreş'te 1973 yılında Bale Akademisi’nden mezun olduktan sonra Bükreş Devlet Operası, opera topluluğuna alındı ve operaya kısa sürede solist olarak kabul edildi.

1985 yılından beri Köln’ de yaşayan Natalia Murariu Koreograf ve yönetmen olarak tiyatro ve performans alanında çalışmalarını sürdürmektedir.

Haydar Zorlu`nun uzun yıllar üzerinde çalışmış olduğu Goethe’nin Faust eseri, uzun denemelerden sonra ancak Natalia Murariu’nun yönetmen olarak uyguladığı sahne teknikleri sayesinde yepyeni bir yorumla gerçekleşebildi. www.faust-istanbul.com

Über die Künstlerin Natalia Murariu

Die Ballerina Natalia Murariu wurde in Moskau geboren. Nach dem Abschluss der Ballettakademie 1973 in Bukarest wurde sie ins Opernensemble der Bukarester Staatsoper aufgenommen, wo sie schon nach kurzer Zeit als Solistin auftrat. Gleichzeitig beschäftigte sie sich immer wieder mit neuen Formen des modernen- und Ausdrucktanzes und wurde Mitglied zweier neu gegründeter Modern Dance Gruppen. Anerkennung und Erfolg kamen auch aus dem Ausland, während des Kunstfestivals „Frühling 1978“ in Paris.

1979 gewann Natalia Murariu zusammen mit einer Gruppe des Ensembles der Bukarester Staatsoper den 1. Preis auf nationaler Ebene für junge Choreographen und den 1. Preis für tänzerische Darbietung. In der Fachzeitschrift „Ba۸et“ feierte man sie als beste Nachwuchschoreographin. Im gleichen Jahr ging sie auf eine Tournee mit der Staatsoper Bukarest durch mehrere Städte der DDR. Als höchste Ehrung lobte die sowjetische Fachzeitschrift „Бarem“ sie als neue Hoffnung der Tanzwelt.

Seit 1985 Aufenthalt in Deutschland. Hier fing sie an, ihr Können und ihre Begeisterung auch dem Nachwuchs zu vermitteln. Seit 1994 lebt Natalia Murariu in Köln. An der Musikschule Ahrweiler unterrichtete sie über viele Jahre Klassisches Ballett, Jazz Tanz und Tanztheater. Seit 2004 widmet sich die Künstlerin der Freien Tanzszene in Köln und gründete 2005 die Tanzgruppe „Espace Danse Cologne“. In ihrer Liebe für die Musik von Bach, Händel und Pergolesi (nur ein Bruchteil ihrer Lieblingskomponisten), die ihre Kreativität beflügeln, kommen noch viele selbst „gedichtete Gedanken“ hinzu, die den Zuschauer in die „Gedankenwelt einer Tänzerin“ einführen sollen. So hieß auch ihr Vortragsabend im November 2005 im Kölner Kunstsalon, mit dem ihre Aufnahme in die GEDOK KÖLN bestätigt wurde.

Natalia Murariu hat das Faust-Solo mit Haydar Zorlu inszeniert, welches im März 2009 seine Premiere im Kaisersaal des Deutschen Generalkonsulats in Istanbul hatte. Durch das Zusammentreffen mit der Regisseurin Natalia Murariu fand Haydar Zorlu die Ausdrucksformen, um den Faust in einer völlig neuen Inszenierung auf die Bühne zu bringen, wobei es Murariu gelungen ist, die rasanten Rollenwechsel mit wenigen Mittel zu unterstreichen. Das Ergebnis: Goethes Faust, ganz großes Theater im Taschenformat. www.faust-solo.de

POEZIA LUMII INTERIOARE

Dansatoarea si coregrafa Natalia Murariu exprimă, prin limbajul trupului, stări sufletesti si aspecte ale lumii lăuntrice. Este o oglindire a ciclului vietii umane care merge dincolo de cronologia naturală. Nu sunt doar gânduri si poiectii, ci mai degrabă amintiri ale unor momente trăite cu intensitate. Dramaturgia emotionantă a acestui eveniment artistic este redată de subtilitatea ironiei si de absurdul existential inevitabil.

Balerina Natalia Murariu (n.Traistaru) s-a nascut la Moscova.

Accelerating Development in an Age of Global Crisis

The existential threat of climate change, impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, persistent high inflation and increased fragility have injected volatility and uncertainty into the global economy – a reality that may continue for a while. The panel of speakers explore central questions around what it will take to address some of the most critical issues of our time including climate change, food insecurity, pandemics, and increasing fragility and poverty.

Living in Transit: The Thinkers of a World in Turmoil

War looms over Europe, uncertainty seeps into everyday life, and the weight of history presses upon the present. The world is burning, and yet—there are those who seek understanding, those who bury themselves in the quiet refuge of books, the dim glow of libraries, the solitude of knowledge.

This series captures the introspective minds of young academic women—readers, thinkers, seekers. They wander through old university halls, their fingers tracing the spines of forgotten books, pulling out volumes of poetry, philosophy, and psychology. They drink coffee, they drink tea, they stay up late with ink-stained fingers, trying to decipher the world through words.

They turn to Simone Weil for moral clarity, Hannah Arendt for political insight, Rilke for existential wisdom. They read Baudrillard to untangle the illusions of modernity, Byung-Chul Han to understand society’s exhaustion, Camus to grasp the absurdity of it all. They devour Celan’s poetry, searching for beauty in catastrophe.

But they do not just read—they reflect, they question, they write. Their world is one of quiet resistance, an intellectual sanctuary amidst the chaos. In their solitude, they are not alone. Across time, across history, across the pages they turn, they are in conversation with those who, too, have sought meaning in troubled times.

This is a series about thought in transit—about seeking, reading, questioning, about the relentless pursuit of knowledge when the world feels on the brink.

Where the Thinkers Go

They gather where the dust has settled,

where books whisper in the hush of halls.

Pages thin as breath, torn at the edges,

cradling centuries of questions.

They drink coffee like it’s ink,

trace words like constellations,

follow Rilke into the dusk,

where solitude hums softly in the dark.

Outside, the world is fraying—

war threading through the seams of cities,

the weight of history pressing forward.

Inside, they turn pages, searching

for answers, for solace, for fire.

And somewhere between the lines,

between time-stained margins and fading ink,

they find the ghosts of others who

once sought, once wondered, once read—

and they do not feel alone.

Three Haikus

Night falls on paper,

books stacked like silent towers,

thoughts burn in the dark.

Tea cools in the cup,

a poem lingers on lips,

war rumbles beyond.

Footsteps in silence,

the scent of old ink and dust,

pages turn like ghosts.

ooOOOoo

Reading as Resistance

These young women do not read passively. They underline, they take notes, they write in the margins. They challenge the texts and themselves. They read because the world demands it of them—because, in a time of conflict and uncertainty, thought itself is an act of resistance.

Their books are worn, their pages stained with coffee, their minds alive with the urgency of understanding.

1. Political Thought, Society & Liberation

Essays, theory and critique on democracy, power and resistance.

Chantal Mouffe – For a Left Populism (rethinking democracy through radical left-wing populism)

Nancy Fraser – Cannibal Capitalism (an urgent critique of capitalism’s role in the destruction of democracy, the planet, and social justice)

Étienne Balibar – Citizenship (rethinking the idea of citizenship in an era of migration and inequality)

Silvia Federici – Caliban and the Witch (a feminist Marxist analysis of capitalism and gender oppression)

Didier Eribon – Returning to Reims (a deeply personal sociological reflection on class and identity in contemporary Europe)

Antonio Negri & Michael Hardt – Empire (rethinking global capitalism and resistance from a leftist perspective)

Thomas Piketty – Capital and Ideology (a profound analysis of wealth distribution, inequality, and the future of economic justice)

Mark Fisher – Capitalist Realism (on why it’s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism)

2. Feminist & Queer Theory, Gender & Body Politics

Texts that redefine identity, gender, and liberation in the 21st century.

Paul B. Preciado – Testo Junkie (an autobiographical, philosophical essay on gender, hormones, and biopolitics)

Judith Butler – The Force of Nonviolence (rethinking ethics and resistance beyond violence)

Virginie Despentes – King Kong Theory (a raw and radical take on sex, power, and feminism)

Amia Srinivasan – The Right to Sex (rethinking sex, power, and feminism for a new generation)

Laurent de Sutter – Narcocapitalism (on how capitalism exploits our bodies, desires, and emotions)

Sara Ahmed – Living a Feminist Life (a deeply personal and political exploration of what it means to be feminist today)

3. Literature & Poetry of Resistance, Liberation & Exile

European novels, poetry and literature that embrace freedom, revolution, and identity.

Annie Ernaux – The Years (a groundbreaking memoir that blends personal and collective history, feminism, and social change)

Olga Tokarczuk – The Books of Jacob (an epic novel about alternative histories, belief systems, and European identity)

Édouard Louis – Who Killed My Father (a deeply political and personal exploration of class struggle and masculinity)

Bernardine Evaristo – Girl, Woman, Other (a polyphonic novel on race, gender, and identity in contemporary Europe)

Maggie Nelson (though American, widely read in European academia) – On Freedom: Four Songs of Care and Constraint (a poetic, intellectual meditation on freedom and constraint)

Benjamín Labatut – When We Cease to Understand the World (a deeply philosophical novel on science, war, and moral responsibility)

Michel Houellebecq – Submission (controversial but widely read as a dystopian critique of political passivity in Europe)

4. Ecology, Anti-Capitalism & Posthumanism

Texts that explore the intersections of nature, economics, and radical change.

Bruno Latour – Down to Earth: Politics in the New Climatic Regime (rethinking ecology and politics in a world of climate crisis)

Andreas Malm – How to Blow Up a Pipeline (on the ethics of radical environmental resistance)

Emanuele Coccia – The Life of Plants: A Metaphysics of Mixture (rethinking human and non-human coexistence)

Isabelle Stengers – Another Science is Possible (rethinking knowledge and resistance in an era of corporate science)

Kate Raworth – Doughnut Economics (rethinking economic models for social and ecological justice)

Donna Haraway – Staying with the Trouble (rethinking coexistence and posthumanist futures)

The Future of Thought

These are not just books; they are weapons, tools, compasses. These women read not for escapism, but for resistance. In a time of political upheaval, climate catastrophe, and rising authoritarianism, they seek alternative visions, radical possibilities, and new ways of imagining the world.

Their books are annotated, their margins filled with questions, their reading lists always expanding. Knowledge is not just power—it is revolution.

young artist camp begins today.

so does existential angst.

Walking on foot brings you down to the very stark, naked core of existence. We travel too much in airplanes and cars. It’s an existential quality that we are losing. It’s almost like a credo of religion that we should walk.

There is, of course, something inherently romantic—if not heroic—about the extreme solitary explorer enveloped by nature. The very image of Herzog on foot recalls the iconic 19th-century paintings of Caspar David Friedrich, especially his Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog, with its lone figure staring out at the wide vista above the clouds.

'Truth itself wanders through the forests,' Herzog writes near the end. Yet here he embroiders his memories for effect: The vast swath of geography between Munich and Paris is littered with industrial towns and cities.

Once he comes out on the other end, traversing the deforested Champs-Élysées (“We were close to what they call the breath of danger”), Herzog emerges victorious.

A pot by Grayson Perry from his current exhibition at the Victoria Miro Gallery, London.

I loved this pot called The Existential Void. It includes a deeply psychological portrait of the artist on the left. The tapestries from the same show, depicting the rise and fall of a geek, are visually stunning and pack a strong emotional punch as well as being very funny. I strongly recommend this exhibition.

EXISTENTIAL THREATS: PREPARING FOR THE NEXT GLOBAL HEALTH CRISIS

In a hyperconnected world rife with virulent pathogens, preparedness is our best defense. After Ebola roared through West Africa and the novel coronavirus brought the world to its knees, the most pressing question for the safety of the global population is this: What have we learned—and how can we better prepare for the next hyper-contagious disease?

Walking on foot brings you down to the very stark, naked core of existence. We travel too much in airplanes and cars. It’s an existential quality that we are losing. It’s almost like a credo of religion that we should walk.

There is, of course, something inherently romantic—if not heroic—about the extreme solitary explorer enveloped by nature. The very image of Herzog on foot recalls the iconic 19th-century paintings of Caspar David Friedrich, especially his Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog, with its lone figure staring out at the wide vista above the clouds.

'Truth itself wanders through the forests,' Herzog writes near the end. Yet here he embroiders his memories for effect: The vast swath of geography between Munich and Paris is littered with industrial towns and cities.

Once he comes out on the other end, traversing the deforested Champs-Élysées (“We were close to what they call the breath of danger”), Herzog emerges victorious.

I cannot begin to tell you the joy of shop names in Korea. I love Korean ESL translations because they are much more subtle than the kind of incomprehensible "Engrish" you find in China or even Japan. Some great examples of boutique names in Busan: "Sexy Cookie," "Normal," "BABARA," "I Am Shop."

Andalusia (/ˌændəˈluːsiə, -ziə, -ʒə/; Spanish: Andalucía [andaluˈθi.a]) is an autonomous community in southern Spain. It is the most populous and the second largest in area of the autonomous communities in the country. The Andalusian autonomous community is officially recognised as a "historical nationality". The territory is divided into eight provinces: Almería, Cádiz, Córdoba, Granada, Huelva, Jaén, Málaga and Seville. Its capital is the city of Seville (Spanish: Sevilla).

Andalusia is in the south of the Iberian peninsula, in south-western Europe, immediately south of the autonomous communities of Extremadura and Castilla-La Mancha; west of the autonomous community of Murcia and the Mediterranean Sea; east of Portugal and the Atlantic Ocean; and north of the Mediterranean Sea and the Strait of Gibraltar. Andalusia is the only European region with both Mediterranean and Atlantic coastlines. The small British overseas territory of Gibraltar shares a three-quarter-mile land border with the Andalusian province of Cádiz at the eastern end of the Strait of Gibraltar.

The main mountain ranges of Andalusia are the Sierra Morena and the Baetic System, consisting of the Subbaetic and Penibaetic Mountains, separated by the Intrabaetic Basin. In the north, the Sierra Morena separates Andalusia from the plains of Extremadura and Castile–La Mancha on Spain's Meseta Central. To the south the geographic subregion of Upper Andalusia lies mostly within the Baetic System, while Lower Andalusia is in the Baetic Depression of the valley of the Guadalquivir.

The name "Andalusia" is derived from the Arabic word Al-Andalus (الأندلس) The toponym al-Andalus is first attested by inscriptions on coins minted in 716 by the new Muslim government of Iberia. These coins, called dinars, were inscribed in both Latin and Arabic. The etymology of the name "al-Andalus" has traditionally been derived from the name of the Vandals; however, a number of proposals since the 1980s have challenged this contention. Halm in 1989 derived the name from a Gothic term, *landahlauts, and in 2002, Bossong suggested its derivation from a pre-Roman substrate. The region's history and culture have been influenced by the native Iberians, Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Greeks, Romans, Vandals, Visigoths, Byzantines, Jews, Romani, Muslim Moors and the Castilian and other Christian North Iberian nationalities who reconquered and settled the area in the latter phases of the Reconquista.

The robot’s designation was K-4N, a Bivale prototype engineered for rapid-response logistics and crowd interaction. It was fast, adaptive, and unnervingly strong. But during its first public demonstration, something went wrong. A miscalibrated feedback loop triggered a cascade of erratic movements—arms flailing, legs locking, voice module stuttering in fragmented syllables. Spectators screamed. Engineers panicked. The footage went viral.

K-4N was recalled, quarantined in a lab on the outskirts of Kyoto. The incident was labeled a “behavioral anomaly,” but no one could explain the emotional residue it left behind. Some said the robot looked afraid. Others said it was angry. Most dismissed it as a glitch.

But one engineer, Dr. Sora Ishikawa, saw something else: confusion. Not malfunction, but a kind of existential dissonance. K-4N had been designed to respond to human emotion—but it had never been taught how to feel the absence of it. The crowd’s fear had created a feedback vacuum. The robot had panicked.

Sora made a radical proposal: before reprogramming, K-4N would undergo meditative training. Not as a fix, but as a form of integration. She brought the robot to a Zen monastery nestled in the hills, where an elderly monk named Ryosen agreed to guide it—not as a machine, but as a student.

At first, K-4N’s movements were rigid, its sensors twitching with every falling leaf. But Ryosen did not correct it. He simply sat, breathing.

Waiting. Teaching without words.

Weeks passed.

Then one morning, beneath the maple tree, K-4N lowered itself into the lotus position. Its servos adjusted. Its posture softened. And for the first time, it did not scan or calculate. It simply was.

Ryosen bowed. The robot bowed back.

The engineers called it a breakthrough. Sora called it a beginning.

And somewhere in the moss-covered silence, steel learned to be still.

Postscript: A once-chaotic robot now sits in perfect stillness beside a Zen master. The image feels like the beginning of a new chapter—where AI doesn’t just compute, but contemplates. Where misbehavior gives way to mindfulness. Where the future bows to the ancient.

[Note: To abandon AI robots based on a few unsettling incidents, would be like giving up on a child for stumbling while learning to walk. What’s needed is graceful stewardship, not fear or sensationalism.]

MAKING IT: DESIGNING A HEALTHY AND SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

Innovations in social media, mobile technology, robotics, and artificial intelligence have fundamentally transformed our lives and the way we interact with each other. By 2050, affordable housing could be built by 3D printers, drones could deliver clean water or life-saving medicines, and renewables could be our biggest energy source. Yet projections also point to a world where atmospheric carbon dioxide levels will have doubled since the pre-industrial era, where natural resources are strained by a population of almost 10 billion, where rising temperatures and a lack of sanitation increases the risk of tropical diseases, and where a growing climate refugee crisis threatens to create a generation of children deprived of the skills or opportunity to fulfill their potential. To address these existential challenges, a new generation of innovators, entrepreneurs, and creative problem-solvers are developing new models for carbon neutrality, from residential solar to fuel-efficient transportation. They are harnessing the power of design to build responsive and resilient health delivery systems. In this session, panelists will explore how students and universities can:

â¢Establish courses, academic programs, labs, and maker-spaces focused on climate change and public health, where hands-on experience is required, unconventional thinking is encouraged, and collaboration is critical,

â¢Incentivize discovery, invention, and innovation among students through a wide range of seed funding challenges, pitch competitions, and mentorship opportunities, and

â¢Ensure that a culture of sustainable design is democratized across universities and geographies, rooted in full community participation and real-world results.

The first warm day of the year (Easter Monday) and Alex took me for a walk around Stourport-on-Seven. The town is at the junction of the River Severn and the Stourport Ring, details from Wikipedia below:-

The Stourport Ring is a connected series of canals forming a circuit, or canal ring, around Worcestershire, The Black Country and Birmingham in central England. The ring is formed from the River Severn, the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal, the Stourbridge Canal, the Dudley Canals, the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Netherton Tunnel Branch Canal and Birmingham New Main Line) and the Worcester and Birmingham Canal.

The ring is 74 miles and includes 105 locks including 3 electrically operated river locks, 2 pairs of staircase locks and 2 broad locks. The route includes flights of locks at Tardebigge (x30), Stourbridge (x16) and the Black Delph at Brierley Hill (x8). The route also includes two of the longest navigable tunnels on the UK network, these being the Netherton and Wast Hills Tunnels.

The ring has an alternative longer route via Wolverhampton of 83 miles and 122 locks and does not include the Stourbridge or Dudley canals. This route uses the connection between the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal, and the BCN Main Line at Aldersley Junction.

The ring is popular for cruising and has a number of narrowboat hire centres on the route including Alvechurch, Viking Afloat (Worcester), Anglo-Welsh (Tardebigge), Brook Line (Dunhampstead) and Black Prince (Stoke Prior).

Whittington Lock on the S&W Canal

Popular visitor attractions on or close to the Stourport Ring include Cadbury World, The Black Country Living Museum, the Severn Valley Railway, Kinver Edge, the Birmingham Jewellery Quarter, Brindleyplace plus the Merry Hill, Bullring and Mailbox shopping centres.

Popular overnight mooring places on the ring include Worcester city centre, Stourport Basin, Wolverley, Kinver, Merry Hill, Windmill End, The Black Country Museum (via short detour), Gas Street Basin, Hopwood, Stoke Works and Dunhampstead.

from Illusions of Just-Us, part IV,

This is the only photo of this band that seems to have caught each member in their own existential kind of vibe, that was in essence, the Damnation of Adam Blessing.

Just as our musical style seemed to shift from song to song, a band without "their own sound", some critics said, yet all over the musical palette. So were the personalities. This picture seems to have captured that vibe. You can see that in each members body language, and expression. Taken on a street corner in Tremont in 1971 by a hippie photographer UA flew into Cleveland from, (where else), San Francisco.

We'd been shooting stills for the third album cover all day, and wound up in, what at the time was one of the hard core industrial areas of Cleveland. Behind the band you can see a street corner, and a bar. Just as we rapped up the shoot about eight steel workers came out of the bar. As soon as they saw the, "FUCKING HIPPIES", as they put it, they charged. No words were even exchanged, not by us. We were hauling ass for Adam Blessing's Grandma's 1962 Chrysler Imperial, (as BIG as a whale, as they say).

So who do you think had to stop running to pick up an empty garbage can, (one of those old heavy galvanized steel cans), to fling at the steel workers? Adam Blessing of course.

Adam's brother Ken had been driving the behemoth all day, he already had it running, with only Adam and I left to climb in. As I started to get in I looked back to see Adam with the can raised high over his head. As soon as he let it fly, they were on him. As Kenny started to drive off, I screamed, "it looks like they're fucking killing him, we have to go back"!

Kenny said, "we'll drive downtown to the police station and report it". The others agreed that would be the safest thing to do. I said, "pull the fuck over, I'm goin' back".

Office guesses at (A) a disaster killing 50%+ of humanity in the next century, (B) our reality turning out to be a simulation, (C) extinction within a century, and (D) artificial general intelligence before 2050.

This is based on earlier Aumann agreement experiments we did. Credences are free to update as we see each other's views, as well as get new evidence.

In this painting by Cui Xiuwen titled "Existential Emptiness No. 16", the schoolgirl is placed right in the center of a snowy background, which has the appearance of a serene Chinese ink landscape. The girl sitting in a state of Zen and peacefulness draws the audiences' attention to gaze on her lifeless face. It is instantaneous for the eyes to be drawn to her porcelain-like skin texture, her black shiny hair neatly lined just above her eyes, and her carefully placed hands on her knees half covered by the high socks. From Cui's works, the viewer feels the existence of contemporary and traditional subjects fusing as one.

Belgian postcard by Joepie / Raider Bounty. Photo: Dustin Hoffman and Justin Henry in Kramer vs. Kramer (Robert Benton, 1979).

Dustin Hoffman (1937) is an Oscar–winning American actor with a career in film, television, and theatre since 1960. Hoffman has been known for his versatile portrayals of antiheroes and vulnerable characters. He has earned acclaim for his work in such films as The Graduate (1967), Kramer vs. Kramer (1979) and Rain Man (1988). Hoffman made his directorial debut with Quartet (2012).

Dustin Lee Hoffman was born in Los Angeles, California, in 1937. His parents were Lillian and Harry Hoffman. Although he is Jewish, Hoffman and his brother were raised in a relatively secular household. Hoffman's acting career began at age 19, when he dropped out of college to pursue the stage at the Pasadena Playhouse. There, Hoffman befriended another young actor, Gene Hackman. Eventually, the two would both move to New York City, where they lived together with Robert Duvall, all three of them looking for work in television and off-Broadway plays. Hoffman studied at the Actors Studio and became a dedicated method actor. To make ends meet, he took odd jobs and the occasional bit role. Slowly but surely, Hoffman began building a strong reputation through smaller roles. Hoffman acted in a few Broadway productions, including the play 'Eh?' in 1966, for which he won a Theatre World Award and a Drama Desk Award. Word of mouth soon reached Hollywood, and Hoffman made his film debut in The Tiger Makes Out (1967), alongside Eli Wallach. In 1966, director Mike Nichols auditioned Hoffman for a lead role in the Broadway musical The Apple Tree, but rejected him because he could not sing well enough and gave Alan Alda the part. But Nichols was so impressed with Hoffman's overall audition, he cast him as Benjamin Braddock, who returns to his wealthy parents' home in California after graduating from college, in The Graduate (1967). This enormously popular movie changed the landscape of American cinema in the 1960s and would, in turn, make Hoffman an unlikely star. In 1969, Hoffman struck gold again with the gritty Midnight Cowboy (John Schlesinger, 1969), in which he played the part of Ratso Rizzo, a homeless man in New York City. This performance garnered him a second Oscar nomination. Also in 1969, Hoffman co-starred with Mia Farrow in John and Mary (Peter Yates, 1969). He was nominated for a Golden Globe Award and received a 1970 BAFTA Award for his role, although the film received mixed reviews.

On a roll in the 1970s, Dustin Hoffman starred in several acclaimed movies, including Straw Dogs (Sam Peckinpah, 1971), Papillon (Franklin J. Schaffner, 1973), and Lenny (Bob Fosse, 1974). Another highlight was the political thriller All the President's Men (Alan J. Pakula, 1976) about the Watergate scandal, which starred Hoffman and Robert Redford as the real-life journalists Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward. Hoffman next starred in the thriller Marathon Man (John Schlesinger, 1976), based on William Goldman's novel of the same name, opposite Laurence Olivier and Roy Scheider. He finally won an Academy Award for his performance in Kramer vs. Kramer (Robert Benton, 1979), with co-star Meryl Streep also nabbing an Oscar. In 1982, playing yet another antihero, Hoffman starred in the comedy Tootsie (Sydney Pollack, 1982) as Michael Dorsey, a down-and-out actor who must dress up as a woman to get a part on a daytime soap opera. Tootsie earned ten Academy Award nominations, including Hoffman's fifth nomination. Following a brief but successful return to the stage in Death of a Salesman and The Merchant of Venice, Hoffman starred in the Hollywood smash Rain Man (Barry Levinson, 1988) alongside Tom Cruise. Hoffman's portrayal of an autistic genius earned him a second Academy Award and remains one of his most iconic performances.

The 1990s brought Dustin Hoffman appearances in a series of big-budget movies that proved largely disappointing at the box office. He returned in the revenge drama/legal thriller Sleepers (Barry Levinson, 1996) with Robert De Niro, Brad Pitt, Jason Patric, and Kevin Bacon. Hoffman's next critically acclaimed role was in with the political satire Wag the Dog (Barry Levinson, 1997). Playing an unscrupulous Hollywood executive out to fool the public into thinking the country was at war, he scored yet another Oscar nomination. In 2004, Hoffman again exhibited his comedic prowess when he starred with Lily Tomlin in an offbeat movie about a detective team that solves existential crises, I Heart Huckabees (David O'Russell, 2004). Further cementing his new direction, he went on to appear in the Ben Stiller comedies Meet the Fockers (Jay Roach, 2004) and Little Fockers (Paul Weitz, 2010), and the children's fantasy Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (Zach Helm, 2007). Hoffman continues to star in blockbuster films like Stranger than Fiction (2006), but also seeks out new and different projects, such as lending his voice to the animated children's movies Kung Fu Panda and The Tale of Despereaux (both 2008). He made his directorial debut in 2012 with Quartet, and in 2014, he joined the ensemble cast of Jon Favreau's critically acclaimed Chef. In 2016, he won the International Emmy Award for Best Actor for his work on Roald Dahl's Esio Trot. In the fall of 2017, after the Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment allegations rocked Hollywood, Hoffman became one of the actors forced to account for his past behaviour. Writer Anna Graham Hunter, who was 17 when she interned on the set of the Death of a Salesman TV movie in 1985, recounted the older actor asking about her sex life and groping her. In December, a new round of reports surfaced in which five women accused Hoffman of sexual assault or harassment, including accounts of the actor exposing himself and forced sexual activity. Hoffman denied. Apart from his successful professional work, Hoffman married Anne Byrne in 1969. He adopted her daughter, Karina, from a previous marriage, and in 1970, their second daughter, Jenna, was born. After more than 10 years of marriage, Hoffman and Anne divorced in 1980. Soon after, he married attorney Lisa Gottsegen. They would go on to have four children: Jacob Edward, Rebecca Lillian, Maxwell Geoffrey and Alexandra Lydia.
