Benjamin Pohlig
Benjamin Pohlig is a choreographer, dancer and researcher originally from Berlin. He studied contemporary dance both in England and Belgium. In his choreographic work, he explores the theatre as agora, a place in which social and political behaviours are not only practised, but are also experienced physically. This concept appears across his works, including the participatory solo "dance yourself clean", and his collaborations "5 seasons" and "A Farewell to Flesh". As a dancer, he has worked internationally with amongst others Martin Nachbar and Isabelle Schad. From 2019 to 2022 was he an ensemble member of Cullberg. As a researcher he continues to investigate both the concept of social choreography and how to speak about climate change through dance.
