All Roads Lead to Chile

37 years old, as of the year 2000 he was professor of modern dance in the Palucca School in Dresden. Moved to Santiago de Chile and the "Espiral" in 2004. After his training in the Palucca School, he spent 17 years in the Comic Opera of Berlin, then a year in Kassel, and finally he danced as a first soloist in the Semper Opera in Dresden. Stopped in order to concentrate on teaching and to pass on what had fascinated him about dancing. Was intensely influenced by his Chilean teacher and by modern dance theater.
