Doris Uhlich

Doris Uhlich' (*1977 in Vöcklabruck, Upper Austria) is an internationally active Austrian choreographer, performer and dance teacher.

Doris Uhlich studied "Pedagogy for Contemporary Dance" at the Conservatory of the City of Vienna, was a performer in the theatercombinat from 2002 to 2009 and has been developing her own artistic projects since 2006.

Working with people with different biographies and physical inscriptions, her performances often explore ideals of beauty and body norms.

As a young choreographer, she began working with older people to explore the relationship between fragility and robustness in the ageing body.

For her series Habitat, she creates temporary large ensembles and uses different spaces, e.g. the Dominikanerkirche in Krems, the façade of the Vienna Secession and the former winter riding arena of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy (Hall E in the MuseumsQuartier Wien[1]).
