| aboutJürg Koch (MA LCDS London, Assistant Professor, Dance Program, UW Seattle) studied dance in Bern, Amsterdam and London after completing a degree in education. Following a one year special course at London Contemporary Dance School he joined their 4D performance group. During this postgraduate year he also completed his MA in performance. From 1998 until spring 2000, Jürg performed with Diversions (Wales) in a repertoire including works by Bill T Jones, Örjan Anderson and Toni Mira. In 2000 he joined CandoCo Dance Company. Working with CandoCo, integrating disabled and non-disabled performers and dancing in contemporary repertory including works by Bill T Jones, Javier de Frutos and Fin Walker informs Jürg’s artistic and pedagogic outlook. In January 2004 he joined the faculty of the University of Washington as a lecturer and was appointed as an Assistant Professor, Summer 2008. Since then Jürg has increased both his educational and choreographic interests including work integrating disabled and non-disabled performers. His choreography spans from solo repertoire (Printer’s Tray) to community ensembles (the workshop) and collaborations with new media artists, David Prior, Iole Alessandrini and Lyn Goeringer.
