ZOO/Thomas Hauert

Thomas Hauert founded his company ZOO in Brussels in 1998. Cows in Space, his first piece, was immediately awarded at the Rencontres de Seine-St-Denis/Bagnolet. Since then, the company has created and distributed more than 20 works. In addition to his work for ZOO, Thomas has also been invited to create works for the Zurich Ballet, the Toronto Dance Theatre, the Candoco Dance Company, and the Ballet de Lorraine among others. In addition to his choreographic work, Thomas Hauert has developed an internationally recognized teaching method, based on movement research conducted with all members of ZOO. Since 2013, he has been the artistic director of the Bachelor's program in contemporary dance at the Manufacture - Haute Ecole des Arts de la Scène in Lausanne.
