Micha Bergese was useless in school. His life began with his early love for theatre, music and dance.

He began his classical dance training in London after growing up in a musical family in Berlin. He was soloist and associate choreographer with the distinguished ‘London Contemporary Dance Theatre' and directed his own troupe, ‘Mantis Dance Company', known worldwide for its innovative and expressive choreography.

He also directed Princess Stephanie and Naomi Campbell among many others.

In both, British and Anglo-American movies, Micha Bergese has created dances and movements for actors for example Peter O'Toole, Daryl Hannah, and Liam Neeson. He choreographed 'Interview with a Vampire' with Tom Cruise, Antonio Banderas, and Kirstin Dunst.

He also acted in staring roles such as in 'Company of Wolves' with Angela Lansbury, David Warner and Stephen Rea. 'Zina', with Domiziana Giordano, Ian McKellen and in 'High Spirits' with Peter O'Toole, Daryl Hannah and Liam Neeson.

Having built up considerable knowledge in these combined fields, Bergese spent two years teaching choreography on BA and MA courses at University of Surrey. During this time, he also created five Circus shows for Fantasia in Germany.

The show ran 999 times and was seen by 6.5 million spectators. He was also artistic director for the Opening Ceremony of the Millennium Dome, which featured 1000 performers.

While working on the Dome project, he conceived and directed 'Shaolin - Wheel Of Life', a Kung-Fu Spectacle. He directed Sarah Brightman's 'Eden' and the following year, ‘La Luna', as well as a joint ‘Scorpions-Berlin Philharmonics' concert at the EXPO 2000.

His first in the millennium and one of his most favourite projects was 'The Bridge', an aerial spectacle in and underneath Bern's 45m high Kirchenfeldbrücke.

In 2002 Bergese explored a new industry to him. Since then he produced nine award winning productions, including the unique aerial spectacle ‘Moon', for P&O's 'Ocean Village' cruises.

Other projects during the following years were the Red Cross Ball and the Disney Kids Awards Opening Ceremony. The ‘Kingdom Tower Grand Opening Ceremony' for the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia and for the King of Bahrain, he conceived and choreographed a stadium show with 3000 performers. Following the ongoing success of ‘Wheel of Life' he created the contemporary, ‘Shaolin Kung Fu Masters Live' show.

Micha's blending of dance, circus, Rock and Roll or Vaudeville creates a unique theatrical experience. He has conquered the oceans, the air and the earth. Fire, he reserves for his entry into hell.
