Bogdanovski was the soloist at the Opera and Ballet of Ljubljana until 2000, when he founded Fičo Balet, where he – through innovative dance and theatre productions and creative workshops – develops his own expression, which is bound between music, light, dramaturgy, technology, text and the body. He is the organizer and leader of international research projects. He also gives dance workshops. Bogdanovski choreographed five evening-length performances for Fičo Balet, with which he toured from Moscow to New York. Bogdanovski received several prestigious awards.
Because of inadequacy of existing systems for creation and production of contemporary dance art in Ljubljana, Bogdanovski opened Kino Šiška as a rehearsal space in 2002 (until the renovation of the building) with the association Asociacija, Cankarjev dom and the Municipality of Ljubljana, and in 2003 launched the first Slovene dance festival Gibanica (Moving Cake Festival) with the partners.
He is additionally involved non-profit management.
