Piet Rogie (Avelgem/België, 1954)

Bio: Piet Rogie (Avelgem/België, 1954) lives and works in Rotterdam since 1979. He has build his career around the two main talents he has; as a dancer/choregrapher and a visual artist. He has worked as a dancer, choreographer, set- and lightdesigner for Werkcentrum Dans, Stift and Penta Theater in the early stages of his career. In 1989, he starts his own choregraphic path, by founding his own company; first known as Rogie and Compagnie, later renamed as Rogie CS.

In 1996, he received the Choreographic prize of the Association of Theatre and Concert Hall Directions as well as the prestigious Prince Bernard Culture Foundation Theatre prize for his entire oeuvre. Having focused on dance mainly until 2005, he shifted focus since then towards his visual arts. He has had several exibitions since then, alternating with small scale dance projects and mentoring/coaching responsibilities for students in Codarts, Fontys and ArtEZ.
