Stanislav Dobák, born 1987 in Poprad, Slovakia. Stanislav studied dance in the Conservatory J. L. Bellu, Slovakia and graduated from PARTS in Brussels, Belgium. The most recent piece Much more than nothing (made in collaboration with Peter Savel and Me-sa) was already his second choreographic work selected as a priority company for Aerowaves. Shortly after arriving to Belgium in 2006 he started dividing his focus into more directions. Contemporary dance, visual arts, photography and movement documentation. From 2011 he started working as a professional videographer, creating promotional short videos for P.A.R.T.S. and few months later he opened his range to capturing full length dance performances. In the same year he launched his carrier as a photographer too. Specializing on dance performances and events. Using his years of experience in dance and a trained eye for dance composition help in capturing the right moment in a right frame. Stanislav is currently based in Brussels, where he is working as a freelance dancer, videographer and photographer.
