About The Choreographer
Robert Robinson is a British-born choreographer whose work has been presented internationally, including full-length creations for the Origen Festival in Switzerland and a recent residency with the Carlos Acosta Foundation. After dancing with Stuttgart Ballet and Staatsballett Hannover, his practice now focuses on raw process, human connection, and opening the creative experience to the public.
What is The Creation
Across two days, the public is invited into an open space where a new choreographic work is built in real time.
​
People can come, go, return, and follow the evolution of the piece as it happens not as a finished show, but as a shared process.
​
This first edition is hosted in collaboration with the International School of Switzerland (ISS), supporting a cultural initiative that connects creation, community, and education in Lugano.
Why This Matters
Most people only ever see dance at the very end, polished, edited, and distant from the work that made it. The rehearsals, doubts and decisions stay hidden.
​
The Creation opens that door. It brings the creative process back into public life and slows down a fast-content culture, showing a generation growing up online that real creation takes time.
