ABOUT

    PERFORMING

    Michael Loehr is a contemporary dancer who has collaborated with a number of international choreographers and companies. His main focus for the past 15 years has been his collaboration with Emanuel Gat.

His creative skills are channelled in his own choreographies, a variety of projects that he accompanies as choreographic assistant as well as in numerous collaborations as a performer in works that require a choreographic vision.

        TEACHING

        Michael Loehr is teaching contemporary dance classes and workshops for professional dancers and beginners alike. Passionately believing in the potential of sharing knowledge and ideas, he considers teaching an essential part of his artistic practice.
