Martin Kilvady was born in 1974 in Banská Bystrica, Slovakia, where he completed his high school education. He then enrolled in a teacher education programme in Contemporary Dance at the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava, Faculty of Music and Dance, where he received a Master of Arts degree. Choreographers and teachers who had the greatest influence on his development as a dancer include Jan Dúrovčík and Libor Václavík. From 1992 to 1996, he was a member of the Torzo Ballet Company and performed as a freelancer in several productions with the Opera / Ballet Bratislava, Slovakia.
In the summer of 1997, he became a member of Anna Teresa de Keersmaeker’s ROSAS dance company in Brussels. He danced in numerous performances, including WOULD, the reprise of MIKROCOSMOS, and ACHTERLAND, and contributed to the creation of JUST BEFORE, DRUMMING, I SAID, and IN REAL TIME. During his years with ROSAS, the teachings of David Zambrano and Chrysa Parkinson further expanded his dance horizons.
