Thomas Hauert receives the DANCE PRIZE of the Canton of Solothurn

It has just been announced that Thomas Hauert is the 2013 recipient of the DANCE PRIZE (Preis für Tanz) of the Canton of Solothurn in Switzerland, the highest honor for dance in the Canton where the Brussels-based choreographer was born and raised. In 1998, Hauert already received a "Werkjahrespreis" from the Canton.

Thomas Hauert is one of the Solothurn dancers who have made the leap to the world stage. He trained at the renowned Rotterdam academy and then settled in Brussels to work with Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker and Pierre Droulers. In 1997, he founded his own company ZOO in Brussels. Since then, he has created more than 15 performances that were presented in some 30 countries. His pieces are also regularly presented at the festival Tanz in Olten in his native Canton.
