Vincent Riebeek (NL) is a choreographer, performer and theatre maker based in Amsterdam. He studied Choreography at SNDO (School for New Dance Development) and holds a Master’s degree from DAS Theatre. With more than fifteen years of experience, he creates provocative work that questions the boundaries of dance, performance and theatre. He first gained recognition through his collaborations with Florentina Holzinger, with whom he co-created a series of influential and boundary-pushing performances from 2010 onwards. During his studies and early career, he was mentored by performance icons such as Ivo Dimchev and developed his practice alongside artists working at the forefront of contemporary performance. As a performer, he has appeared in works by artists including Tino Sehgal and Choy Ka Fai. His work balances on the line between art and entertainment and investigates how bodies are shaped by social, moral and aesthetic norms, and how they can question, reconfigure and reclaim those structures. Originally self-taught as a performer, he continues to embrace an outsider perspective and regularly collaborates with performers who have developed their knowledge and practice outside institutional dance contexts. Most recently, he made his debut as both final director and Dutch-language actor with theatre collective De Warme Winkel.
