Sam Gilovitz Dancer I was born in Perth, Western Australia and began my first full time dance training at the Australian Ballet School in Melbourne. I later completed 3 more years of study at the New Zealand School of Dance as a contemporary major. While studying I was taught by notable mentors including James O’Hara, Alice Lee Holland and Victoria Colombus and I performed works by Damien Jalet and Huang Yi. After graduating I began working with Dance Theatre Heidelberg under the direction of Iván Pérez. During my three years with the company I performed works by Iván Pérez, Renan Martins and Astrid Boons. In 2022 I joined the Ballet National de Marseille directed by (LA)HORDE. I toured extensively with the company performing works by (LA)HORDE, Oona Doherty, Lucinda Childs and Tânia Carvalho. I joined NDCWales in 2023 as a freelance dancer.
