Martin del Amo, originally from Germany, is a Sydney-based choreographer and dancer.
Currently in development is Slow Dances For Fast Times.
He is best known for his full-length solos, fusing idiosyncratic movement and intimate storytelling. These include It’s a Jungle Out There (2009), Never Been This Far Away From Home (2007) and Under Attack (2005), all of which received significant critical acclaim. In recent years, Martin has extended his practice to choreographing group works and solos for others including Mountains Never Meet (2011), Stored/Restored, Reverb (1) (Melbourne Fringe, 2009), The Reset Quintet (DirtyFeet, 2009) and various solos for his ongoing multi-part choreographic project, Slow Dances For Fast Times.
Martin regularly teaches for a wide range of arts organisations and companies and has extensively worked as mentor and consultant on projects initiated by young and emerging artists. He has been nominated for two Australian Dance Awards – Outstanding Achievement in Independent Dance (2010) and Best Male Dancer (2005). His work has toured nationally and internationally (UK, Japan, Brazil).
