Guillem Mont de Palol

I graduated from the School for New Dance Development (Amsterdam) in 2006. Since then I have been working actively in the international dance and performance scene. Since 2008 I collaborate with Jorge Dutor, set designer and performer. Together we have created ‘UUUHHH, Yo fui un hombre lobo adolescente inventando horrores’ (2009) and ‘Y porqué John Cage? (2011)’, ‘#Losmicrófonos’ (2013), ‘Grand Applause’ (2016). ‘Lo pequeño’ and ‘Lo mínimo’ (2019) has been our first collaboration with the artist Cris Blanco. I have also worked for other choreographers such as Xavier Le Roy, Mette Ingvartsen, Frederic Gies, Vincent Dunoyer and Andrea Bozic.
