Moritz Ostruschnjak

Moritz Ostruschnjak was part of the sprayer scene for a long time, which is how he came into contact with breakdance and discovered his interest in contemporary dance. 

He first studied at the Iwanson International School of Contemporary Dance in Munich, later he deepened his dance training with Maurice Béjart in Lausanne. After that, he worked as a dancer for several years in Germany and abroad. Since 2013 he has worked as a freelance choreographer in Munich and has created, among other things, the ensemble pieces “Boids”, “Unstern”, “Autoplay”, “Yester:now”, “Terminal Beach” and most recently “Rabbit Hole” in 2023.

His pieces have already been shown at numerous European festivals, and three of his productions have been invited to the Tanzplattform Deutschland: “Unstern” in 2020, the solo “Tanzanweisungen” in 2022 and “Terminal Beach” in 2024. The pieces “Tanzanweisungen” and “Autoplay” were shown in Mainz at the tanzmainz festival #4. Moritz Ostruschnjak is one of the Aerowaves Twenty21 Artists and was awarded the City of Munich Dance Promotion Prize in 2020. He is a member of the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts and Tanztendenz München e.V. 

“Trailer Park” is his first production with the tanzmainz ensemble.
