The Ballet Master
Hugo Fanari is regularly asked to give classical training for dance companies and contemporary workshops of his own choreographies around the world.
These include modern solos and duets, which he often creates specifically for international dance competitions.
From fall 2010-2012, he has been an Associate Professor and choreographer at the Taipei National University of the Arts (TNUA) in Taiwan.
In addition to choreographing, he also teaches:
-Classical ballet training for junior & senior graduated students
-Duet class, classical and contemporary
-A training method exclusively for male dancers
Teaching Goals:
A dancer’s task is to be sensitive and open to assimilating the nuances, while also being quick and intelligent in learning to synthesize movements, to serve as “inspiration” for a choreographer. Hugo Fanari’s goal is to guide them to be assertive, motivated, disciplined and full of creativity. In addition, in his classes he nurtures respect for others while keeping a positive attitude and a competitive team spirit, full of healthy self-esteem and ambition. He encourages his students to participate in international dance and choreography competitions, and to attend live performances from international dance companies.
The Choreographer
As a choreographer, besides his work with dancers, Hugo has helped train opera singers, actors and musicians. He has successfully created over 30 dance works for different operas, ballet companies, festivals and choreography competitions. Notable achievements include:
Finalist at 2010 Cross Connection Choreographer Competition, with his piece “Two4One” at the Stærekassen Theater Copenhagen (Danish Royal Opera).
Winner of 2003 Prix Dom Pérignon of Choreography “Nachwuchpreis”, with his ballet “E pur sì muove” at the Hamburg State Opera.
Winner of first prize, Pierre Wyss prize and public choice award at the Hannover International Choreographer Competition, with his ballet “No man's land”.
Finalist at 1998 Hannover International Choreography Competition year 1998, with his work "How many leaves".
Dance is an international language with endless communicative possibilities, and has the ability to reach and gather together people from various generations, nationalities and social classes. The art and poetry of the language of movement can convey messages, touch our souls, and waken our senses, interest and intellect. My philosophy is to use dance as a universal tool to unite people, who all understand, feel, share and speak the same language.
