About
Sven Niemeyer
is an award winning director and choreographer with more than 25 years of experience as a theater and dance professional. Sven got his extensive dance- and musical theater education in Hamburg, Munich and Los Angeles. As a performer he has worked with many different directors, choreographers and music directors internationally for almost 20 years on stage or in front of a camera. Besides that, he started his professional career at the creative side of the business as a Co-Choreographer for David Garrett in 2001. Since 2017 he is the consultant for the Jazz- and Showdance department at ZAV-Tanz, the artist agency by the German Government. Sven choreographed more than 40 Music-/Theater productions, created 'Amazonia' for young audience at the Philharmonie Luxembourg in 2016 and got chosen as 'flausen+' artist in residence, funded by 'Fonds Darstellende Künste' in 21/22. As a Director, Sven has made a name for himself as a "specialist for complex topics" (NDR) and directed the European Premiere of the HIV-Drama 'The 24th Day - A play by Tony Piccirillo' in 2022, the Germany Premieres of Tom Ratcliffes 'Wreckage' in 2023 and Andrea Besconds 'Bye Bye Life' in 2024, with rave reviews, and a sold out run - all three productions at the prestige Theater Das Zimmer in Hamburg. 'Wreckage' got shortlisted for the Hamburg Theater Award in 2024. His many years of experience and diversity in styles, enable Sven to work in any field of dance, movement, theater and film.
" Any new project is exciting - to follow the path till a premiere or release is always an enjoyable challenge. And what doesn't challenge you, doesn't change you!"
