Chris Leuenberger studied acting 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 performer, he collaborates with different artists in various contexts and constellations, keeps developing his own work and performs for others.
In 2014, he starts a collaboration with the author and theater director Marcel Schwald. Together, they develop documentary dance evenings that combine choreography and autobiographical material. The second Schwald/Leuenberger production EF_FEMININITY was invited to Theater Festival Impulse in Düsseldorf and was showcased as part of the Sélection Suisse in Avignon in 2019.
As a dancer Chris has performed in works by Jenny Beyer, Aitana Cordero, Cosima Grand, Lowtech Magic, Tino Sehgal and Dick Wong among others.
