Hugo Le Brigand explores dance as a space for creative encounters and porous collaborations, weaving movement into dialogue with a wide array of artists, including Doris Uhlich, Alix Eynaudi, Sebastiano Sing, Daniela Georgieva, Ulduz Ahmadzadeh, and Ari Benjamin Meyers, among others.
Since 2014, he has been a regular collaborator with Doris Uhlich, contributing as a performer, coach, and rehearsal director across various projects. His work with Alix Eynaudi began with the choreographic piece BRUNO and continues with her latest works, Death By Landscape, a concert and Fiction Fiction. Hugo's collaboration with Daniela Georgieva includes performances in destination_paradise, blank memory of absence, FLUSCIA, and their duet 270206. In 2023, Ulduz Ahmadzadeh invited him to join the tour of TARAB, and in 2024, he worked with Ari Benjamin Meyers on his large-scale performance Nation of Sleep at the Steirischer Herbst festival.
Hugo also performs with Tanztheater Sing in the piece MATHIEU and in the company’s upcoming production, Milan. Mein Milan. Since its founding in 2023, he has been an integral part of the company, contributing to its artistic development with his unique movement language and shaping its vision from within as a core dancer and collaborator.
Hugo's career has taken him to international stages and festivals, including Festival Santiago a Mil in Chile (2018), the Seoul Street Art Festival in South Korea (2019), the Impulstanz Festival in Vienna (2017), Rencontres Chorégraphiques Internationales in Paris (2017) and Wonderfruit Festival, Thailand (2024).
Alongside his dancing career, Hugo teaches contemporary dance at Public Moves by ImPulsTanz, RAUM für TANZ Vienna (more here) , and TanzQuartier Wien.
