Following an in-depth period of movement research during an artist in residency at DU, he collaborates with Makaila Wallace a highly-skilled contemporary ballet dancer who masterfully and fearlessly approaches this signature choreography, and portrait of home. Robert’s sophisticated body knowledge has been gained and developed over a diverse, illustrious dance career. His presence radiates wisdom and knowledge embedded somatically, energetically and intellectually.
A force to be reckoned with, his works are performed nationally and internationally to audiences without compromise.

“ … highlight of the program” The New York Times.

“Austrian-born dancer and choreographer, Robert Sher-Machherndl, is everything an artist should be: a fiercely creative, self-confident individual who exploits familiar forms for his own devices. A visionary who forces us to look at the human body in strangely appealing new ways, and a dancer who makes the rigorous and punishing seem at once effortless and alien.”   Dance Person of the Year | Denver Post
