William Forsythe (born December 30, 1949)[1] is an American dancer and choreographer formerly resident in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and now based in Vermont.
He is known for his work with the Ballet Frankfurt (1984–2004) and The Forsythe Company (2005–2015). Recognized for the integration of ballet and visual arts, which displayed both abstraction and forceful theatricality, his vision of choreography as an organizational practice has inspired him to produce numerous installations, films, and web-based knowledge creation, incorporating the spoken word and experimental music.[2]
