OLGA STÖHR
CHOREOGRAPHER



Olga Stoehr (b. 1996, Yekaterinburg, Russia) is a Russian and German choreographer, ballet master, teacher of classical and contemporary dance, representative of the Russian ballet school. She is known for her expressive style, which combines avant-garde, experimentation and dramatic movement.
She showed interest in art from an early age: she studied dance, folk singing and fine arts. She took her first serious steps in dance with 6 y.o.. Already in her teens, she choreographed numbers and helped teach classes, while simultaneously participating in competitions and festivals.
Despite her academic inclination towards physics and dreams of a legal career, in high school she finally decided on her choice of profession, inspired by the work of Pina Bausch and the works of Dostoevsky. She received an education in choreography, first at the Ural Pedagogical University, then at the Chelyabinsk State Academy of Culture and Arts, and later in a master's program in Moscow, where she defended her thesis on stage dramaturgy in ballet.
During her studies, she experienced severe personal losses, but continued to actively create: she participated in scientific conferences, wrote articles and poems, was involved in production work, and taught. In 2019, she moved to Germany, where she continues her choreographic work.
Since 2021, she has been living in Frankfurt am Main, working as a freelancer-choreographer and teacher in ballet schools. In her work, she pays special attention to the dancer's acting expressiveness, technique according to the A. Ya. Vaganova system, and stage composition. Her productions participate in international competitions, and she also develops herself as a teacher.

Profile
I am an enthusiastic choreographer with 13 years of production experience, passionate about creating unique and captivating dance pieces! With 12 years of teaching a diverse range of age groups, I have loved performing on stage since I was just 6 years old and have actively participated in university productions. I’m also thrilled to have adapted Stanislavsky’s methods to help dancers prepare for their roles in exciting ways!
