German Ivancic is a stage director, choreographer and performing artist working across dance, musical theatre and interdisciplinary performing arts projects. His work explores hybrid forms that bring together social references, inherited traditions and contemporary performance practices. His practice seeks to create spaces where identities remain open, forms remain permeable and collective experience becomes a space of transformation.
Born in Argentina, Italian citizen and based in Paris, he originally graduated in Computer Science before transitioning into the performing arts through Argentine Tango. This experience became the foundation of a long-term investigation into improvisation and expressive movement.
He has developed his artistic practice within the independent performing arts scene in Buenos Aires, where he worked across contemporary dance, theatre and stage direction. He was part of the opera company LÃrica Lado B as stage director, choreographer and performer in productions including Il sogno di Scipione (Mozart) and Curlew River (Britten), and has founded and collaborated with independent theatre and dance collectives dedicated to interdisciplinary creation.
His pedagogical practice is an integral part of his artistic work, functioning as a space for research through movement, improvisation and musicality. Since 2008 he has developed workshop formats that originated in Argentine Tango and have expanded into contemporary dance, partner-based practices and group improvisation. His work approaches improvisation as a tool for awareness, creative autonomy and compositional thinking, valuing connection, presence and expressive potential.
Alongside his artistic and pedagogical work, he studied a Master’s degree in Cultural Administration (University of Buenos Aires) and has extensive experience in cultural management, having contributed to the creation and direction of organisations, festivals and platforms dedicated to contemporary opera, theatre and dance.
