Mark Sampson
Dancer

VITA:
The Canadian faction in the company is growing! In addition to Eric Gauthier, there is now another Canadian. Mark trained at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School. For his degree, however, he moved on to the more contemporary-oriented Juillard School in New York, which he left in 2016 with the Martha Hill Prize for Leadership and Excellence in Dance in his pocket. He got off to an excellent start with one of his home country's top companies: BJM – Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal. There he danced in pieces by choreographers whom he is sure to meet again in Stuttgart, such as Itzik Galili, Barak Marshall and Andonis Foniadakis. Mark joined Gauthier Dance in the 2019/20 season.
