Chris Leuenberger studied theater at the Pacific Conservatory of the Performing Arts (USA) and dance and choreography at the School for New Dance Development (NL).

Based in Bern as a freelance choreographer and dancer, Chris collaborates with different artists in various contexts and constellations, keeps developing his own work and performs for others. Through intense studies of yoga and pranayama he has become interested in the choreographic potential of breath, a fascination made visible and tangible in several of his dance pieces: MASCULINITY (2008), SOPLO DE VIDA (2012) and ORGANISATION (2015). His work KREUTZBERG, a collaboration with author and theater director Marcel Schwald, was awarded with the Swiss Cultural Heritage Award in Dance.
