James Batchelor is a prize-winning choreographer and dancer from Australia based in Berlin. After studying dance at the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne, he was invited by the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies to join a two-month scientific expedition at sea in 2016, which led to the creation of Deepspace, commissioned by Dance Massive, and later to his solo Hyperspace, selected for Aerowaves 2019. He presents his works in multiple contexts worldwide, such as at Centre Pompidou (Paris and Malaga), MONA (Hobart), Vitalstatistix (Adelaide), Dancehouse (Melbourne), Dansens Hus (Oslo), Bassano del Grappa (Italy), Tramway (Glasgow), December Dance (Brugge) and at Tanz im August in 2019. Batchelor also has a dedicated teaching practice, sharing his creative processes with people of all ages and abilities.
