DANCE PRODUCTIONS

Daniel Smith, born in Vancouver, Canada, is a choreographer based in Düsseldorf, Germany, where he has been developing his artistic practice since 2022.

In Düsseldorf, he has created three works for his project-based company Dans Myth: Blink and Bite, Sparkle Beasts, and Bully. He has also developed two site-responsive works in collaboration with St. Andreas Church, presented as part of the Düsseldorf Festival and the IDO Festival.

Together with director and composer Hans Kaul, he co-created two interdisciplinary works for Boat People Projekt, presented at Werkraum Göttingen and Altes Schlachthaus Eupen (Belgium).

His practice extends into crossover and commercial contexts, working as a choreographer and movement director for site-specific performances and film projects.

Prior to focusing on choreography, he was a soloist with several companies, most recently Ballett am Rhein, and trained at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School. He is an international guest teacher for companies and academies.
