The Anglo-Irish dancer and choreographer Esther Balfe graduated with a diploma from Ballet Rambert. Since then, she has worked as a dancer and choreographer, mainly in England, Ireland, Austria, and Germany. In 1995, she co-founded the Tanztheater Wien, which joined the Volksoper Wien in 1999 (until 2004) under its new director, Liz King. As a member of the Forsythe Company (2006-15), Esther Balfe performed internationally and gave masterclasses and workshops for William Forsythe. During her time with Forsythe Ballet, she became familiar with the processes of internalizing and reprocessing as well as creating movement. Between 2003 and 2006, Esther began teaching, researching, and exploring movement. She has been a professor at the Music and Arts University of the City of Vienna (MUK) since 2012.

As part of interventa Hallstatt 2024, Esther was entrusted with the choreographic direction of the Ringing-in performance. Under her guidance, 13 dancers from the dance degree program at the MUK performed in five locations in the Salzkammergut, officially launching the first interventa Hallstatt in January 2024.
