Katerina Andreou

Katerina Andreou is a dance and music creator and choreographer, based in France.

Born in Greece, she graduated from the University of Athens’ Law School and the State School of Dance in Athens. As a scholar of the Greek foundation ‘Pratsika’, she attended the program ESSAIS in CNDC d’Angers in 2011, under the direction of Emmanuelle Huynh, and holds a master’s degree from Paris 8 on research and choreography. She was a Danceweb scholar at Vienna’s ImPulsTanz festival in 2015.

As a dancer, she has collaborated, among others, with DD Dorvillier, Αnne Lise Le Gac, Lenio Kaklea, Bryan Campbell, Emmanuelle Huynh. In her own work, she is interested in developing states of presence sorting out from a constant negotiation between contrasted tasks, fictions and universes, often questioning the relation to ideas as authority and autonomy, communication and censorship. She often creates the sound design and/or the music of her own pieces.

She was awarded the choreography prize ‘Prix Jardin d'Europe’ in ImPulsTanz 2016 for her solo dance piece “A kind of fierce,” a coproduction of Athens & Epidaurus Festival. She is also a Panorama Artist of the network Departures and Arrivals (DNA), and an Aerowaves 2019 network artist, with her solo “BSTRD,” an Onassis Stegi co-production.
