ABOUT
Welcome to Wang Ramirez, where we redefine the boundaries of dance with a fusion of unparalleled creativity and a diverse ensemble of international dancers. Rooted in the belief that dance has the power to evoke and explore our deepest emotions, we go beyond the conventional to access an instinctive, seldom touched part of ourselves in the modern world. In every performance, our purpose is to move both ourselves and our audiences beyond reason, creating an unforgettable and transformative experience.
Sébastien Ramirez
French–Spanish Dancer, Choreographer and Artistic Director
Sébastien Ramirez specializes in the use of aerial work as well as choreographic rigging development. The underground scene, followed by a number of competitions, collaborations and encounters consolidated his artistic vision. In 2007 he founded his company in Perpignan. Integrating a new vision of space and choreography, the company’s distinct language brought hip hop dance to a wider and new audience.
Sharing the Company’s Artistic Direction with Honji Wang, the pair has produced more than 9 choreographic pieces that blend hip-hop with other styles and has collected several awards including the Special Jury Prize at the International Choreography Competition in Osaka (2009), the Special Audience Award at the No Ballet Contemporary Dance Competition in Ludwigshafen (2012), the 1st and Special Audience Award at the International Contemporary Dance Competition in Hannover (2012), the New York Bessie Award for Outstanding Performer (2013), and the Bessie Award Nomination for Outstanding Production (2017).
His first commissioned work was as one of the choreographers of RIOT OffSpring, a 2013 Sadler’s Wells production. Ramirez contributed to the creation phase of Madonna’s Rebel Heart Tour and choreographed for her live show. He also conducted a personal training on floorwork movement for the creation of Akram Khan’s solo DESH. Ramirez was appointed Associate Artist at L’Archipel, National Theater of Perpignan in 2014 and at Théâtre de la Ville in Paris in 2018.
