Boris Cakširan graduated from the Faculty of Applied Arts in Belgrade as a painter-costume designer, but he also works as a scenographer, choreographer and director. He was always interested in physical expression, so in his childhood and youth he was engaged in gymnastics, figure skating and folklore. When he was 17 years old, he suffered an injury that stopped him on his way. After that, he entered the university and started working as a costume designer, achieving the career of one of our most important costume designers, primarily on film, doing TV series and theater plays.
He returned to dance in 1984 by going to the Contemporary Dance Festival in Bytom, Poland, where he worked on independent projects for 11 years. After that, he worked as a guest choreographer at the MASPA school at the Kibbutz Dance Company for 6 years.
In 1998, he founded the ERGstatus project of contemporary dance in Belgrade, as an educational project with international artists - pedagogues, which he has been running since 1999 in the form of an independent dance theater. As a choreographer, he collaborated with the Mudra Theater, the Bidadari dance troupe, the "Hajde da..." group, but he also works in dramatic performances at the Yugoslav Drama Theater and the "Boško Buha" Theater and many others.
As a fighter for inclusive practices, he was also one of the founders and artistic director of the "Out of the Box" theater festival in Belgrade, as well as a co-founder of IIAN - International Network of Inclusive Theater.
