Hugo Le Brigand is a French dancer and choreographic collaborator based in Vienna. He has created the solo sans-culottes (2019) and, in collaboration with Daniela Georgieva, the duet 270206 (2022). In 2023, he co-founded Tanztheater Sing together with Sebastiano Sing — a company he continues to shape as movement director and core dancer, bringing a distinctive movement language to the heart of its artistic vision.
For more than a decade, Hugo has explored dance as a space for encounters and porous collaborations, weaving movement into dialogue with a wide range of artists. His longest collaboration is with Doris Uhlich, which began in 2014 — working alongside her as a dancer across numerous projects, but also as a choreographic collaborator and rehearsal director, taking on meaningful responsibilities in contributing to and transmitting her work — most notably the ongoing Habitat series, In Ordnung, and Glitsch. This ongoing dialogue sits within a broader constellation of collaborations with artists such as Alix Eynaudi, Daniela Georgieva, Karin Pauer and Ari Benjamin Meyers. In 2023, he joined ATASH dance company group piece Tarab (2022) as a guest dancer.
His dancing has taken him to international stages including the Festival Santiago a Mil (Chile), Seoul Street Art Festival (South Korea), ImPulsTanz (Vienna), Rencontres Chorégraphiques Internationales (Paris), and Wonderfruit Festival (Thailand).
Hugo brings the same curiosity into the studio, teaching contemporary dance at Public Moves by ImPulsTanz and Tanzquartier Wien. He trained at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance (Leeds) and the Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance, and holds a degree in history from Rennes II University.
His work has been supported through the danceWEB scholarship at ImPulsTanz (2017), the START Stipendium for Music and Performing Arts from the Austrian Federal Chancellery (2018), the Body & Performance Practices program at Tanzquartier Wien (2023), and the City of Vienna's Scholarship for Performing Arts – Performance (2025).
