Thomas Bos (1988) is interested in movement, humor and authenticity. Agnes de Mille once said: 'The truest expression of a people is in it’s dance and in it’s music. Bodies never lie.' Words are often used to hide stuff, but video can be used to show it.
This man obtained his bachelors degree Digital Video Design in 2013 at the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Utrecht. He started (break)dancing at age 12. During his studies he did an internship for multimedia artist Oliver Laric in Berlin.
Before, during and after his studies Thomas has made videowork and has been performing on stage and in video’s. Most notably for 155 (onefivefive). But also with DOX, MAAS, Fontys, Abel and de Dansers. The work has been awarded the Dox talent award (2013) the André Gingras award (2014) Best international screendance Lisbon (2018), Young Audience Award NDD (2018), Zilveren Krekel (2019), Cinedans Encouragement Award (2022), Hong Kong Jumping Frames international award (2022).
This work has been performed and shown (among other places) at Centraal Museum Utrecht, Eye Filmmuseum Amsterdam, Lowlands Festival, Nederlands Film Festival, Sziget Festival (Hungary), Lunga Festival (Iceland), Artscape (South Africa), Indonesia, Freetown (Sierra Leone) and Jumping Frames (Hong Kong).
