Sébastien Ramirez

Ramirez specializes in the use of aerial work as well  as choreographic rigging development. Since the foundation of his  company, he developed a new vision of space and choreography, bringing  hip hop dance to a wider and new audience.

Following the presentation of AP15 at the Apollo Theatre in New York, Sébastien Ramirez and Honji Wang received the Bessie Award 2013 as “Outstanding Performers”. Their work Monchichi was one of the 2017 Bessie Award nominees for “Outstanding Production” following its performance at BAM Fisher.

Ramirez contributed to the creation phase of Madonna’s Rebel Heart Tour in New York City and choreographed for her live show.
In 2016, Wang and Ramirez received a comission from Sadler’s Wells to direct and perform a dance work made to Nitin Sawhney’s album Dystopian Dream.
He also conducted a personal training on floorwork movement for the creation of Akram Khan’s solo DESH.
Ramirez was also invited by Sadler’s Wells as one of the five choreographers of RIOT OffSpring, a unique dance piece performed to Igor Stravinsky’s iconic The Rite of Spring played by Southbank Sinfonia.
