3art3 Company is a dance and music theatre company created in 2011 in Zürich. The company operates as a collective with the aim to work on multi-disciplinary projects with artists from different disciplines and different cultural backgrounds.

​

Daniel Hellmann, singer, actor and performer, begins his career as a boy soprano as soloist of the Zurich Boy’s Choir. He studies voice with Gary Magby at the University of Music Lausanne (MA of Interpretation) and theatre/performing arts at the University of the Arts Bern (MA in Theatre).

Daniel Hellmann unfolds his talents particularly in projects that unite the different artistic disciplines. His work is characterized by musicianship, creativity and the urge to find and explore a scenic language apt to respond to the questions of today’s society. With his voice as well as his language and movement skills, Daniel Hellmann disposes over a wide-ranging set of instruments for his work, allowing him to be a polyvalent and surprising artist, equally at home in the classical music scene as in the contemporary scenic arts.

Scholar of the Ernst Göhner and the Binding Foundation, he works with various artistic institutions and personalities such as the Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne, the Zürcher Kammerorchester, the Lausanne Opera, the Tanzhaus Zürich, the Dampfzentrale Bern or the Theater Chur, choreographers Constanza Macras, Cisco Aznar, Marcel Leemann and Silva Ricard, film director Rosa von Praunheim, and performer Ivo Dimchev.
