Artist – Kai Strathmann

Interdisciplinary artist working at the intersection of electronic composition,choreography and audiovisual creation.
My artistic path began in the urban dance scene, where extensive training and international collaborations with music artists and major brands shaped my early creative language. I later completed my Bachelor in Contemporary Dance and a Master in Choreography at Folkwang UdK. During this period, I spent five formative years as a guest dancer with Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch. Alongside these experiences, I created my own dance and music works and, in 2025, I completed a Master in Music in Integrative Composition at ICEM Folkwang Universität der Künste, with distinction.

Since 2019 I have been working as a composer and artistic assistant with YIBU, where I regularly create interdisciplinary works that connect dance, sound, video and spatial concepts. My choreographic and compositional pieces have been presented at Tanzmesse NRW, MOVE Festival, First & Further Steps, PACT Zollverein and Theater Lüneburg.

In addition to numerous international teaching assignments, including Beijing Dance Academy, Cloud Move China, The HipDrop in Sweden, SDK Brno and Asters Studio in Greece, I regularly lead intensive workshops in Germany. In my practice I combine deep movement knowledge with a strong musical and compositional understanding, shaped by choreographic thinking, technical precision and a distinct aesthetic sensibility.
