Contemporary with Davidson Farias

The aim of my classes is to create within the dancers (movers) a unique awareness and coordination that play along with the essence of the music. As in my ballet class and contemporary class, the dancers should come with an open mind to research something new within themselves; Understanding body mechanisms, learning and harmonizing movements, exploring new forms of dance and ideas….

Davidson Farias, a Swiss-Brazilian choreographer, began his dance training at the Ana Araujo Ballet School in São Paulo in the 2000s. After his graduation, he spend a two-year position with Cisne Negro, one of Brazil’s most highly world-class dance companies. In
2009, he made a significant career move by joining the Tanz Luzerner Theater in Switzerland as a company member. During his time there, Davidson performed in over 48 original creations and world-class premieres and toured with the company to Belgrade,
the Holland Dance Festival, and Antwerp. He had the privilege of working with some of the sought-after European choreographers. In addition to his performances, Davidson has showcased his choreographic talent through seven new creations for the sold-out  productions of the Dancemakers Series at Luzerner Theater. Throughout his career, Davidson has taught, choreographed, and assisted at a number of schools and professional companies such as Luzerner Theater, Zürich Ballet, Cia. Toula Limnaios Berlin, Boris Eifman Dance Academy in Russia, Indiana University in the USA, and Ballet Company Friedrichstadt-Palast Berlin in Germany, among others. To further expand his knowledge, he pursued a Master’s degree in Choreography at the Zurich University of Arts.
