After two years of studying biochemistry, Saskia Hölbling decided to study dance at the Vienna Conservatory and then at the prestigious PARTS Anna Teresa de Keersemaeker school in Brussels. She received scholarships from DanceWeb and Atelier du Monde/Montpellier Danse 2001. As a dancer she collaborated with many distinguished choreographers including Willi Dorner (mazy, back to return) and Benoit Lachambre (solo rrr….).

In 1999 she founded her own company, Dans.Kias, for which she created a number of choreographies and won prizes, among others at the choreographic competition Bagnolet 2000 and the performance Other Feature was awarded the best Austrian performance of 2003.

Saskia also continues her solo career – Exposition Corps was commissioned by the International Choreographic Meeting Seine-Saint-Denis in Paris, as was Jours Blanc, a solo with which Saskia comes to Poznan immediately after the Paris premiere.
