About
Winter Wieringa (Utrecht, 1998) is a dancer, performer and choreographer living in Amsterdam. Recently he has won the Young Swan award for his role in Hoop by Danstheater AYA / Wies Bloemen.
His background is hugely by his upbringing as the son of two artists and his history coming from breaking. Seeking to merge these worlds, he began studying in 2016 at the Modern Theatre Dance department in Amsterdam.
As a maker Winter is interested in themes that place the individual in opposition with the larger societal system. In performance, honesty and transparancy are essential, making a meaningful connection with the audience therefore is always the highest priority.
After their time at the Modern Theatre Dance he spent a few years studying at several academic institutions where he gained more insights in academic research methods and thinking. Since 2022, Winter has been actively working as both performer and choreographer.
Winter lives and works out of Amsterdam and has performed and shown their own work both nationally and internationally. Besides performing his own work, he has collaborated with companies such as Danstheater Aya, Collectief MAMM, Shifft and Sedrig Verwoert.
