Teo Vlad studied visual communication in film & television at the Edinburgh College of Art (UK) and has been working in Berlin as a freelance performer and audiovisual designer for film & theater since 2011. His focus is mainly on live projections and visual experiments with all types of modular projectors, sets, bodies and objects in both site-specific performances and theater pieces. For some time now, dance has also been one of his forms of expression, which allows the previous performative expression to merge with physical theater, butoh, contemporary dance, improvisation, acrobatics, contact improvisation of martial arts and much more. He is constantly looking for an individual and authentic poetic form of expression.
