Since graduating from the London School of Contemporary Dance in 1991, Mark Lorimer has worked as dancer, choreographer, teacher and rehearsal director.
His main collaborations as a dancer have been with Rosas/Anne-Teresa De Keersmaeker (1994 - present) and with ZOO/Thomas Hauert (1997- 2005). Alongside these he has worked on many projects with (among others) The Featherstonehaughs/Lea Anderson, Bock and Vincenzi, Mia Lawrence, Jonathan Burrows, Deborah Hay, Alix Eynaudi and Boris Charmatz.
As a choreographer he has made two full-length evenings "To Intimate" with cellist Thomas Luks and fellow Rosas mainstay Cynthia Loemij, and "Dancesmith - Camel, Weasel, Whale" again with Cynthia plus graphic artist and dancer Clinton Stringer. He has also made works with students of the Laban Centre, London and a duet with Chrysa Parkinson - "Nylon Solution".
As a rehearsal director he has worked on several creations with Rosas and continues to tour with "Vortex Temporum" while dancing in Boris Charmatz's most recent work "Manger".
This year he works on a second collaboration as a dancer with Alix Eynaudi on the piece "Edelweiss". And next year Mark will create a work for the Bhodi Project at SEAD, Salzburg.
Aside from ImPulsTanz Mark teaches regularly at P.A.R.T.S., and later this year for the first time at Manufacture, Lausanne.
