Sven Niemeyer

SaskiaAllers%20(14%20von%2018).jpg)
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 with further training and education in places like New York and London. 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 and staged more than 65 Music-/Theater- or Film productions, e.g. at distinguished houses like Hamburg State Opera, Theater an der Wien (VBW) or the Philharmonie Luxembourg. He 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 sold out runs - all three productions at the prestige Theater Das Zimmer in Hamburg, followed by 'Zarah 47' in 2025. 'Wreckage' and 'Zarah 47' got nominations for the Hamburg Theater Award in 23/24 and 25/26. His many years of experience and diversity in styles, enable Sven to work in any field of dance, movement and direction in theater and film for all ages and audiences.
