Rosalia Chladek (1905 - 1995)
Dancer - Choreographer - Teacher

Rosalia ChladekRosalia Chladek is considered one of the leading pioneers of Free Dance in the twentieth century (Modern Expressionist Dance).
As a solo dancer she received widespread acclaim because of her unique combination of a spectacular technique, her ability for intense expression and her outstanding musicality.

She displayed her creative talent as a choreographer in over 70 solo-dance creations, also in innumerable choreographies for Theatre, Opera, Film and Television.

In her earliest days as a dancer she began researching the elements of cause and effect in movement which she developed into the Rosalia Chladek®-System, her internationally recognised dance technique.


Chladek worked in a directing capacity in several institutions:

  • Basle Conservatoire
  • Hellerau-Laxenburg School
  • Vienna Conservatoire
  • Vienna Hochschule for Music and
    Dramatic Art


After her official retirement from the Hochschule she was a much sought-after guest teacher at home and abroad until she was 90 years old, and directed the Part-Time Study courses in Strasbourg  until 1995and  later in Vienna.
