Katerina Andreou

Katerina Andreou was born in Athens, but lives and works in France. She graduated in law, 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 collaborated 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 researches states of being that result from constant negotiation between contrasting tasks, fictions or universes, often calling into question notions of authority and censorship. The sound environment of her pieces, which she creates herself, constitutes her principal dramaturgical material. Her solo piece, A Kind of Fierce, which recieved the Jardin d'Europe Prize at the ImpulsTanz Festival in 2016, was followed by BSTRD in 2018, Zeppelin Bend with Natali Mandila in 2021, Rave to Lament in 2021, and most recently Mourn Baby Mourn in 2022. She is an associate artist at the Centre Chorégraphique National de Caen en Normandie and with the Exerce Master's at the CCN de Montpellier.
