Felix Landerer

Felix Landerer studied at the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst in Frankfurt am Main. After a career as a dancer, he began choreographing in 2006 and founded his own company in his hometown of Hanover, LANDERER&COMPANY.

Soon professional magazine Dance Europe proclaimed him the "New name to watch" because of his virtuosic and organic visual and dance language. Landerer works with a regular composer, Christof Littmann.

In 2010, Landerer won first prize in Hannover in the International Choreographers Competition where Ed Wubbe was artistic director. He also won the Scapino Production Prize associated with that festival. With that prize, he created Fake One with the Scapino dancers, which was included in TWOOLS 13 (2011). The piece was a great success and was selected for the Dutch Dance Days.

In 2012, Landerer made Irreversable for TWOOLS 14, after which he moved on to full-length work. In 2013 he made Kranken Katze which was part of the Scapino performance Le Chat Noir. In the same year, he made Blind Spot for the show The Great Bean. It earned him a Swan for the most impressive dance production. In October 2014, his choreography 15 minutes or less premiered in the Scapino performance ICONS.

In season 2018-2019, Landerer created the piece The whys and wherefores are elusive as guest choreographer at NDT 2.
