About me
I am Paulius Prievelis - contemporary dance dancer, choreographer and teacher. I have been actively working in the dance field since 2013. As a dancer, I worked at the Kaunas Dance Theater Aura for three years, and since 2018 I work as a freelance dancer in various projects and I pay a lot of attention to the education of the young generation of dancers. I currently work at the National M.K. Čiurlionis School of Arts. I am constantly deepening my knowledge in various seminars and master courses both in Lithuania and abroad.
My plays have been presented at Lithuanian and European performing arts festivals in Bulgaria, Germany, Italy, Belarus, Malta, Raseiniai, Rokiški, Utena, Kaunas, Vilnius, etc.
Dance for me is not just a sequence of movements or a choreographed routine. This is our natural body language. After all, before we learned to walk, we first began to move to the rhythm of the music we heard.
