Since establishing himself as an independent choreographer in 2001, Matjash Mrozewski's work has won over audiences and critics alike in Canada, Europe and Australia. His choreography appeals through its versatility, grace and curiosity.

Trained at Toronto's National Ballet School, Matjash first tried his hand at choreography as a student. He continued creating dances when he apprenticed with the National Ballet of Canada and then joined the corps de ballet. From 1997 to 1999 he danced with Le Grand Ballet du Théatre de Genève and Les Ballets de Monte Carlo. He returned to the National Ballet of Canada, becoming soloist in 2000. He left the company in 2001 to devote himself exclusively to choreography. In 2001 Matjash created A Delicate Battle for the National Ballet of Canada. His choreographic breakthrough, the work has since been remounted numerous times and adapted for film.

Work in 2009 includes: Pavillon d'Armide, for Les Ballets de Monte Carlo's Nuits de la Danse inspired by Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes; Bringing the Tiger Down From the Mountain for the 40th anniversary of Canada's National Arts Centre; Dénouement, winner of the Choreographic Prize in the Eighth International Competitions for the Erik Bruhn Prize; My Love, for the Tulsa Ballet's Mediterranea program.

Matjash has also created original works for The Royal Ballet, The Australian Ballet, The National Ballet of Canada, The San Francisco Ballet, The Royal Danish Ballet, The West Australian Ballet and The Royal Swedish Ballet, among others.

Beyond the classical stage, Matjash has worked extensively in contemporary ballet and modern dance. He recently choreographed Tarragon Theatre's new musical Mimi. In 2003 he was the first recipient of the National Arts Centre's Youth Commission for Dance, creating his first full-length work, Break Open Play. Five dance films have been made of his original and adapted choreographies. He has choreographed for fundraisers and fashion shows, and has taught numerous classes and workshops throughout his career. Whether in dance, theatre, film or commercial projects, Matjash is always seeking new challenges and collaborations.
