Jason Oremus

Former lead of Riverdance, co-creator of the award-winning dance company Hammerstep, and five-time national Irish dance champion, Jason is a multidisciplinary creative whose work has been featured in Rolling Stone, Billboard, Dance Magazine, and Wired magazine. Originally from Sydney, Australia, Jason’s breakout performance role was with Riverdance as principal lead dancer, a tenure that spanned over 40 countries and venues such as London’s Hammersmith Apollo, Palais des Congrès de Paris, and The Kremlin State Palace in Moscow. Jason has produced and starred in international Hammerstep appearances at New York City's Lincoln Center, The Palace Theatre on London’s West End, and on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent.” As resident artist of the New Museum’s NEW INC NYC and the Bell Labs Experiments in Art & Technology (E.A.T.) program, Jason co-created and developed the original sci-fi universe Indigo Grey, producing multimedia releases such as the internationally award-winning short film Indigo Grey: The Passage, and a sell-out run of live immersive theatre show Indigo Grey: The Micah Grey Experiment at Mana Contemporary in 2018. Most recently, Jason has been developing choreographic materials for Paradise Square, contributing as both a choreographer and featured performer for the show’s world premiere at Berkeley Repertory Theatre in 2019. Jason is thrilled to return to the production while also making his choreographic debut on Broadway with Paradise Square.
