Rohiet Tjon Poen Gie
Rohiet Tjon Poen Gie (1990, Paramaribo) grew up in Suriname. A hip-hop dancer, he is known for his own dance style, complementing breaking and popping with other kinds of influences.
At a young age, he started street dancing and hip-hop styles as a self-taught artist. He travelled abroad for performances and battles and won several awards.
After studying dance in Tilburg, he worked with choreographers such as Erik Kaiel, Kalpana Raghuraman, Shailesh Bharon, Farida Nabibaks, Paul Röttger and Olivier Diepenhorst.
With his own work, he prefers to seek the underexposed perspective within social issues.
Together with Bijlmer Parktheater, DansBrabant supports the development of its latest work in 2024, Yeye.
