BIOGRAPHY

Jarek Cemerek is presently one of the most successful Czech choreographers and dancers; his achievements are many not only in the Czech Republic but also abroad. In 2011 at London Sadler's Wells theatre he presented a premiere of a piece called Void, a choreography hand- tailored for the male dance company Balletboyz and one that is a thematic sequel to Void Amongst Humans. The opportunity to create at Sadler's Wells was a result of Jarek being chosen among 180 choreographers participating at an audition. Another of his achievements is that he was invited to teach dance and to choreograph at the renowned Juilliard School in New York. In 2011 he was awarded on Czech Dance Platform for the Dance Piece of the Year and the Dancer of the Year.
