Katerina Andreou

Katerina Andreou was born in Athens but lives and works in France. She has a law degree, trained at the National School of Dance in Athens and holds a Master's degree in choreographic research from the University of Paris-VIII. She has worked as a performer with DD Dorvillier, Anne Lise Le Gac, Lenio Kaklea, Bryan Campbell, Dinis Machado, Emmanuelle Huynh and Ana Rita Teodoro. She develops a physical practice specific to each project and seeks states of presence that result from constant negotiation between contrasting tasks, fictions and universes, often challenging notions of authority and censorship. The sound environment of her pieces, which she creates herself, constitutes her main dramaturgical material. Her solo A kind of fierce, which won the Jardin d'Europe prize at the ImpulsTanz festival in 2016, was followed by BSTRD (2018), Zeppelin Bend (2021) with Natali Mandila, Rave to Lament (2021), and more recently Mourn Baby Mourn (2022). She is an associate artist at the Centre chorégraphique national de Caen in Normandy and with the Master Exerce at the CCN in Montpellier.
