Luis Garay

Garay has presented recently in Panorama Festival in Rio de Janeiro, Vooruit in Gent, Theatre Cite International in Paris, Ballhaus Naunystrasse in Berlin, the Montpellier Danse Festival, the Kyoto Experiment, Sesc in Sao Paulo, and Malta Festival in Poland among others. He was one of seven artists selected worldwide to be part of SiWiC Coaching Project for Choreographers Swiss.
