As a dancer, he is based in Hip hop dance, but also finds a lot of influences from popping, house dance and other dance expressions. Since 2008, Julian has found a great love for various movements and dances, where he built a strong foundation as an established dancer. At the same time, he increased his knowledge and vocabulary by taking master classes both within and outside his genre. He has taken classes in hip hop, house dance, breaking, popping, voguing, wacking, step, modern and contemporary with world-renowned dance teachers. He has most recently been seen as a dancer on "Iceolo", which is a two-part piece, including a film and a performance.

In 2022 he will also work as a choreographer and dancer for the Nordic performance “The Moral Compass” which will work on the morality issues. Julian likes challenges and unique movements, but finds that the foundation are the pulse of the visions he has. This shapes both his creative thinking and expression, where he has been able to master and develop something that characterizes him. By challenging himself to take different movements and styles

outside its comfort zone and combine this with what he has mastered, Julian creates performances that reflect both his attitude and vision. Repeat and master your foundation, only then can you introduce new movements that work as part of you.

Julian sees himself as a creative, respectful and versatile culture project manager with over 10 years of experience. His knowledge extends widely around stress-, conflict-, financial management, web design and digital tools. He is also educated  as an international cultural project manager at Nätverkstan in Gothenburg, which is a two-year higher vocational education.

As a dedicated culture practitioner, Julian has a great understanding of different cultural scenes and finds good relationships as an important aspect for a more sustainable future in the cultural scene. This has led to him having a broad network of contacts both regionally, nationally and internationally in the cultural sector.
