A personal message
The notorious ‘about me’ section. The equivalent of a digital handshake and, to be honest, the toughest bit of this website to pen down.
Most ‘about me’ pages read like a corporate sales pitch, a hard sell designed to turn a human being into a polished product. That doesn’t sit right with me. I don’t want to turn myself into a commodity on my own site. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t mind if you booked me for a performance, attended one of my shows, or picked up one of my books. But my goal here is simply to tell you my story and share my experiences.
If you’ve landed here, you’re likely interested in dance, movement, storytelling, martial arts, physical performance, maybe music or the messy, beautiful reality of navigating life as a freelance artist. That is me in a nutshell. I dance, direct films, write books, try to make music, and train on the mats. I also work on being the best father and husband I can be, without losing touch with the things that made me who I am.
My origin story: from code to choreography
My professional journey did not begin on a stage, but behind a glowing screen.
Following in my father’s footsteps, I studied software engineering at HTBLA Salzburg and spent four and a half years working as an IT engineer. My primary languages were C++, Java, and C#, developing complex software applications for logistics and time management at MECS GmbH. While I realized that a lifetime spent solely with screens was not my calling, the logical, structured framework I developed during those years remains deeply ingrained in me.
Today, I perceive the world through a unique lens: a fusion of creative artistic flow and rigorous, structured logic. This combination is what allows me to break down highly complex concepts into clear, step-by-step methodologies.
A lifetime in movement: dance & martial arts
Movement is my native language. I have spent over 30 years training my body to express what words cannot.
The dance evolution
My dance journey began in 1999 at the Tanzschule Seifert in Salzburg with traditional ballroom dancing. But, the moment I stepped into a Breaking (Breakdance) class, my trajectory changed forever. The acrobatic complexity, raw self-expression, and physical challenge of street styles took over.
Due to physical setbacks and injuries (I messed up my wrist trying to learn the flares), I expanded my repertoire into hip-hop, house dance, and krumping. This versatile foundation led me to perform professionally in internationally renowned urban theatre productions, touring with dance troupes such as:
- Nobulus (featured in the production Out of the Shadow, 2007-2011)
- Hungry Sharks (featured in #fomo, Anthropozän and Hidden in Plain Sight, 2014 – 2017)
During this whole theatre journey, I trained, lived and breathed dance with my friends and crew-mates. Over the years, the name of the crew changed but the essential people around me, mostly stayed the same. The crew names I represented are:
- Unknown Artists (the original crew consisting of people who started to dance together)
- Smoking Aces
- M.O.T. – My Own Thing (my current crew)
The martial arts foundation
Long before I discovered dance, my discipline was forged on the mats. I began training in Judo as a teenager, eventually earning my 1st Dan (black belt) and winning youth accolades at the national level. I also became a certified trainer (Übungsleiter) in 1998.
Over the years, I explored kickboxing, wing tsun, and eskrima. Today, I am deeply committed to a multi-year kung fu teacher-training program at the International Lau Family Hung Kuen Kung Fu Academy in Salzburg. The education is running through 2027.
The author & creative entrepreneur
In 2014, I co-founded the event-agency Rookies at Work GmbH alongside Mike Tike and Cosmic. Driven by our passion for breaking, we built Circle Industry into the largest international breaking battle in Austria. We managed high-profile projects, including the Red Bull BC One Austria Cypher and Red Bull Dance Your Style Austria, expanding into social media marketing and brand advertising.
Eventually, I transitioned from shareholder to a regular employee to prioritize my artistic independence and remain fully present for my young daughter and my wife.
This pivot to fatherhood sparked my career as a writer. I swapped touring for the desk, writing manuals to help other artists treat their passion as a sustainable career:
- Dance Smart: A structured collection of 36 basic urban dance concepts and an easy dice game to fuse them into infinite complex movements.
- Performance Skills: An analytical breakdown of the four essential pillars that generate stage presence, complete with practical training drills. This book is a collab with Manuel Pölzl aka Da Bürgermasta.
- The Dance Business Manual: A comprehensive, step-by-step guide to approaching a dance career from an entrepreneurial perspective.
- 7 Questions To Ask Every Move: A free 10-page guide introducing improvisational and choreographic variation methods.
Staging stories: film, theatre & music
I believe that storytelling is most powerful when it transcends words. Together with my wife Gerda Moser-Kindler, an incredibly talented music composer (who runs the project Szintra), we have written, directed, and produced narrative dance short films and theatre pieces under our joint banner Artfeeders and I had the honour to produce, direct or choreograph for and with multiple solo artist or troupes.

Exploring music as Moskin Tribe
My relationship with rhythm also extends into music production. Or at least trying to produce music. Under the moniker Moskin Tribe, I experiment with neoclassical, ambient, and electronic beats. I also act as the mixing and mastering engineer supporting my wife’s superior compositions at Szintra. Listen to my only two releases below.
Building the bridge: qigong & my Salzburg practice
To maintain my physical and mental capabilities after decades of hard (and often unreflected) training, while spending too many hours sitting behind a laptop, I needed a reliable, systematic somatic “maintenance system.”
I tried yoga, pilates, and conventional weight and endurance training. Nothing helped me against my lower back, knees, and shoulder issues. Sometimes the issue was that the system didn’t address what I needed, but more often it was, that I didn’t feel at home in the movement or the community. This changed when I learned 18 Luohan Qigong from the Shaolin tradition. I felt instantly at home and it worked, for what I needed.
Today, I am an ICMAA-certified 18 Luohan Qigong Instructor (representing the 7th generation in the Chan lineage).
I teach local Qigong classes, private 1-on-1 sessions, and corporate mental-somatic performance workshops in Salzburg through my dedicated German-language platform: Yin Yang Arts | Qigong Salzburg
If you are located in or around Salzburg, Austria, and want to learn a structured, non-esoteric system for posture, focus, stress regulation, and physical longevity, check out my local classes and private sessions.
My philosophy: ground yourself in reality
I have always been a “Red Pill” thinker (inspired by The Matrix, not the movement). I value uncomfortable, raw truths far more than comfortable illusions, because I believe that growth, in whichever domain, can only come from understanding.
I believe that life is too short for meaningless work. Spending your prime years earning money for someone else by selling products or services that mean nothing to you is a direct route to a soulless life. We all have something of value to contribute, and with the right strategy, we can build a sustainable livelihood around it.
This pragmatic philosophy influences how I approach art, business, and teaching. I focus on Methodology over Mysticism and Clarity over Esotericism.
And this view also brings me full-circle to the beginning of my journey.
Preparing for the future & AI
As a former software developer, I closely follow the rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence. I recognize the complex ethical and psychological challenges AI poses to the nature of work and to the global job market. This makes it essential to understand the issues and steer how local communities interact with this new technology. I want to help traditional artists to navigate this development.
Understanding how to morally utilize AI and AI-like generative systems is a vital skill for navigating tomorrow’s job market. I am committed to mastering these tools. Not just for myself, but to ensure my daughter grows up fully equipped to thrive in the world that lies ahead.
