Spanish-born Pau Aran Gimeno discovered his love for dance at a local dance school when he was ten years-old and learnt ballroom, jazz, classical and modern dance. Turning his hobby into a profession, he trained at the Folkwang Hochschule in Essen, Germany, and later joined Tanztheater Wuppertal (2006–2020). There he danced in 25 pieces, delving into the complexity of Pina Bausch’s movement language. Parallel to his work in Wuppertal, Pau has been a freelance artist since 2013. He choreographed Lettre d’amour (2020), a duet co-produced by the GREC Festival and premiered in Barcelona at the CCCB, and Un cadavre exquis II (2021–2022), a solo co-produced by the Steptext dance project e.V. and Festival Dansa Metropolitana, which premiered in Madrid at Naves del Español. Eager to share the dancing experience he has gathered with the next generation, Pau has been teaching since 2020.
