During this period, he had the opportunity to collaborate with renowned choreographers such as Jo Strømgren, Georg Reischl, Bryan Arias, Po Cheng Tsai, Johan Inger, Fernando Magadan, Marcos Morau, Cayetano Soto, Gustavo Ramirez, and Ella Rotschild.
His time at Tanz Luzerner Theater provided Thomas with a strong foundation in contemporary dance, exploring a variety of styles and choreographic approaches. His performances were integral to various choreographic creations, contributing to the realization of unique artistic works.
Since 2020, Thomas has been a member of Aterballetto, a contemporary dance company, where he further explored the extensive repertoire of the company.
