Philipp Gehmacher studied Contemporary Dance and Choreography (London Contemporary Dance School, Trinity Laban) in London in the 1990s and Fine Arts (Sculpture and Space class, University of Applied Arts) in Vienna in the 2010s.  He is the programme director of the BA Dance Context Choreography at HZT Berlin and professor of contemporary dance and choreography since October 2022.  Gehmacher’s artistic works use the body and language as forms of utterance, various institutional spaces as well as objects, sculpture, things. His focus is on physicality, movement and the realisation of bodies-in-motion as shared environments, in interaction and potential togetherness.
