Fredrickson Dramaturgy, choreography & dance

Performing artist and choreographer Jonathan Fredrickson graduated from the California Institute of the Arts in 2006, where his curiosity for multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary art was awakened. His professional performance career spans 17 years, during which he has danced with Limón Dance Company, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago and most recently with Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch. He has appeared on international stages in works by various artists, including Pina Bausch, Nacho Duato, Mats Ek, Sharon Eyal, William Forsythe, Alonzo King, Jiří Kylián, Jose Limón, Ohad Naharin, Alan Lucien Øyen and Dimitris Papaioannou. As a choreographer who presents his work internationally, Fredrickson has created works for Ballet Idaho, Limón, Hubbard Street and ‹Underground›, the choreographic platform of Tanztheater Wuppertal. He has also created for international dance festivals and schools such as California Institute of the Arts, CalState Fullerton, Limon Institute, Sundance/Canadian Contemporary Dance Theatre and Nuova X. In 2010 he was named one of Dance Magazine's ‹25 To Watch›. Fredrickson's artistic work operates at the intersection of storytelling, dance and interdisciplinary forms, creating works that illuminate the human experience. His creative exploration has also extended to dramaturgy. Most recently, he collaborated with Bobbi Jene Smith and Or Schraiber on their new creation ‹Pit› for Ballet Opera de Paris, which premiered in March 2023.
