Alan Brooks
Alan Brooks (born May 25, 1977 in Chertsey (Surrey) ) is a British choreographer, ballet dancer and dance teacher.
After studying classical and contemporary dance at the Rambert School in London, he was initially engaged at the Scottish Dance Theater in Dundee before becoming a soloist in the ballet of the Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz in Munich in 1998. He has danced in productions by Jonathan Lunn , Rui Horta , Philip Taylor , Jiří Kylián , Malou Airaudo , Catharina Sagna and Carolyn Carlson and is still active as a dancer in Germany, France, the Netherlands, Spain and Italy.
His choreographic work includes works for the Munich Philharmonic, the Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz, the Munich Chamber Orchestra, the Münchner Kammerspiele and the Bavarian State Opera. With his project “Tanz mal Drei” he initiated the first dance program of a stately ballet company in Germany.
As a dance teacher, he then focused on working with children and young people and, among other things, has been running the project “School Dance in Bavaria” and its continuation (“Dance in Bavarian Schools”) on behalf of the Bavarian State Ministry for Education and Culture.
Every year Brooks works in around 18 workshops with an average of 30 participants, but also choreographed events with 1500 participants, such as 2015 at the Munich International School. Brooks teaches as a lecturer at the Universities of Augsburg and Eichstätt and is a Community and Youth Dance Consultant for the National Dance Company Wales.
