Sebastian Schmidt is a contemporary dancer, choreographer, and dance educator. He began his formal training at the Palucca University of Dance in Dresden, where he developed a strong foundation in ballet, improvisation, and contemporary dance. He later completed a Bachelor’s degree in Contemporary Dance Pedagogy at the Music and Arts University of the City of Vienna (MUK) and is currently enrolled in the Master of Arts Education program at MUK.

As a performer, he has appeared in a variety of theatre and stage productions, including works presented at the Schönbrunn Palace Theatre, Theater Nestroyhof Hamakom, WUK Vienna, and several graduation productions at MUK. His artistic work combines technical precision with openness to contemporary performance practices.

Alongside his performance work, Sebastian Schmidt is developing his choreographic voice. His piece Encounter, created in choreographic collaboration with Victoria Becker, has been presented at several venues in Austria and abroad. In his choreographic practice, improvisation serves as a central research tool through which movement, structure, and composition emerge.

In addition to his artistic work, he is active as a dance educator, teaching contemporary dance, ballet, and creative movement to diverse age groups. His interests focus on collaborative processes, artistic research, and the dialogue between pedagogy and contemporary performance.
