Povilas Jurgaitis is a contemporary dance artist, performer, choreographer, and dance educator based in Vilnius. He completed his degree in contemporary dance, along with a minor in dance pedagogy, in 2023 at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theater. In 2025, he completed his master\u2019s degree in dance and movement therapy at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theater and Vilnius
University.<\/p>

Through the Erasmus exchange program, he went to Reykjav\u00edk and studied at the National University of the Arts. In recent years, he has performed at international festivals such as \u201cNew Baltic Dance,\u201d \u201cContempo,\u201d and \u201cGaida,\u201d and has collaborated with \u201cGranhoj Dans,\u201d \u201c\u0160eiko Dance Theater,\u201d \u201cMMLAB,\u201d and \u201cBe Kompanijos.\u201d He has worked with choreographers such as Nicolas Cantillon, Pietro Marullo, Vittoria de Ferrari Sapetto, Liza Baliasnaja, Vytis Jankauskas, Andrius Katinas, Giedr\u0117 Kirkil\u0117, and Palle Granh\u00f8j.<\/p>

In his current artistic practice, Povilas explores humanity\u2019s dependence on technological devices, particularly when they become directly integrated into the physical body and create new expressions of identity that diverge from our conventional notions of the body\u2019s naturalness. In addition to his artistic work, Povilas curates \u201cSteb\u0117jimai,\u201d a contemporary dance education project for teenagers.<\/p>
