Phoebe is a British choreographer and the founder and artistic director of PITT Company, based in Switzerland. Known for her cinematic, image-driven approach, her work brings together movement, rhythm, theatricality and visual composition to create distinctive worlds on stage. Influenced by cognitive and social psychology, she explores human relationships and emotional landscapes, creating immersive and unique experiences.
With PITT Company, Phoebe creates contemporary dance works that combine a strong visual identity with precise choreographic composition. Since its founding in 2022, the company’s work has been presented across Switzerland and internationally at venues and festivals including Südpol Luzern, B.OOM Festival Taipei, Teatro Palladium Rome, DAP Festival Pietrasanta, Dance Days Chania and PRISMA Festival in Panama City.
Research is an integral part of Phoebe’s artistic practice, informing both the development of her choreographic work and the questions at its centre. Her research project I AM, WIR SIND, supported by the Aargauer Kuratorium, Migros Kulturprozent and Residenzzentrum Tanz+, explores themes of identity and belonging through movement and collaborative artistic practice. Her research-based work has also been developed through platforms including Brückerei at Tanzhaus Zürich, 7×7 at Tanzhaus Basel and Moving in Collaboration (LUAIL, Ireland). Phoebe was commissioned as a 2024 VERVE Research artist.
Alongside her choreographic work, Phoebe teaches internationally at professional dance institutions, universities and companies.
Alongside her work with PITT Company, Phoebe creates commissions for dance companies, universities and cultural institutions across Europe and North America.
She has previously been commissioned by institutions including TanzLuzern, Ballet Arabesque, KSU Dance Company, DAF Dance Arts Faculty, VERVE, the BA Contemporary Dance programme at ZHdK, and Project Regione Lazio in collaboration with Teatro dell’Opera di Roma. Current and upcoming commissions include new creations for BalletX, Of Curious Nature, VERVE ’28, Tanzkompanie Rostock and Tanztheater Mönchengladbach-Krefeld.
Alongside obtaining the Swiss Matura, Phoebe trained at the Zürich Opera House Ballet School and graduated with a BA in Contemporary Dance from the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK).
She received the Migros Kulturprozent Dance Award in 2018 and 2019 and, from 2019 to 2025, was a member of TanzLuzern, where she worked with choreographers including Inbal Pinto, Andrea Miller, Caroline Finn, Mthuthuzeli November, Kor’sia, Tom Weinberger and Ella Rothschild.
