Andreas Constantinou is a performance artist, director, and the founder and artistic director of HIMHERANDIT, a Denmark-based interdisciplinary performance company he established in 2006. His work explores complex human experiences through performances that combine physical theatre, dance, visual art, and immersive scenographic environments.
Constantinou graduated from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in 2003 and began his professional career in London with the pioneering immersive theatre company Punchdrunk. During this period he worked as a devising performer, contributing to the creation of several productions including Sleep No More, where he originated and developed the role of one of the three Witches, and The Firebird Ball.
In 2006 he shifted his focus toward developing his own artistic practice, founding HIMHERANDIT and beginning a body of work that has since toured extensively to theatres and festivals across Europe.
His projects often unfold as long-term artistic series that explore complex social and emotional themes. Between 2013 and 2018 he created The Gender House Projects, a multi-chapter exploration of gender, sexuality, and identity that later led to the founding of The Gender House Queer Arts Festival in Aarhus. His later works include the award-winning performances Champions and Mass Effect, the latter named one of The Guardian’s Best Dance Performances in the UK in 2023.
Constantinou is currently developing The Grief Work Series (2021–2026), a five-part artistic exploration of death, grief, and loss, which includes the award-winning performances My Undying Love and Carcass.
Alongside his artistic work, he has held several teaching and leadership positions in dance education, including Head of the Contemporary Dance Division at Klassíski Listdansskólinn in Reykjavík, Iceland (2006–2009), and Head of Dance at Performers House in Denmark (2009–2013). He has also taught at institutions including Trinity Laban, The Place in London, and the Iceland Academy of the Arts.
