Andreas Denk is dancer, choreographer, décor designer, founder and artistic director of plan d-. He makes humorous and infectious dance productions for the whole family. He is a master in integrating daily attributes into dance phrases and hilarious scenes. His creativity and fantasy keeps surprising his public again and again.
Andreas Denk: “I don’t put attributes on the edge but right in the middle of the performance. They form obstacles which confront me in my movements and choreographies.”
Quote: Andreas Denk, (…) can make something out of nothing. Attributes and props are his motor, they pump his movements and moving phrases. Things of everyday life are enough for his complete choreography. And so the friends look more like do-it—yourself men than dancers.
(Review of a performance of Friends in the Winter in de Volkskrant)
After spending more than twenty years in the creative industry as a designer and art director, I consciously made the transition from design to business management in recent years.
The experience I gained during that time—developing visions, guiding creative processes, and collaborating with a wide range of teams and brands—now forms the foundation of my role.
In my current position, my focus is on connecting people, strategy, and organisation. I am energised by creating an environment in which talent can flourish, teams can collaborate effectively, and ambitions can be translated into tangible results. I strongly believe in the power of open communication, mutual trust, and a shared vision.
I combine an entrepreneurial mindset with a people-centred approach and feel most at home at the intersection of strategy, collaboration, and development.
With two years of experience in business management, I am committed every day to supporting the growth of both the organisation and the people within it, always with a long-term perspective and a willingness to embrace innovation.
