Biography
Graduated from Academy of Performing Arts in Prague (Choreography and Theory of Choreography). As a dancer she participated in the projects of czech and foreign choreographers (Claude Brumachon & CCN Nantes), Nir de Volff, Norman Douglas, Isira Makuloluwe, Maya Lipsker/Verte Dance and others. In 2005 she was awarded the prize “The most outstanding dancer” in the festival Masdanza (Spain) and nominated for „Am Beste Deutsche Solo“ competition in Leipzig.
Her performances were put on the stage within the festivals Tanec Praha, Biennale de la danse in Lyon, Euro-Scene Leipzig, Aerowaves in London, Aerodance in Amsterdam, En Pe De Pedra in Santiago de Compostela, Masdanza in the Canarian Islands (awarded the first prize for a collective work).
As a resident artist she worked with The Professional Dance School in Mazatlan (Mexico) and with Theater Vorpommern (Germany). She appeared as a guest in Komedie Theatre (Klára S. – directed by David Jařab). She attended a residency stay in Spain, Germany (Tanzplan Dresden, Steptext Bremen) and France.
Since 2009, she has been closely working with Michal Rydlo, a programmer, Patrik Sedlák, a lightdesigner, and musicians Michal Cáb and Stanislav Abraham.
Their collective project 15STEPS deals with the topics of decision-making, direction and navigation (GPS). Their latest project UNSEEN explores the topic that could be described as 'voice inside us'. Both the light and the sound are equal partners of the dancer. The performance reveals new relation between movement, music and light.
