Ligia Lewis (born in the Dominican Republic) lives and works in Berlin. As an experimental choreographer, her work is often marked by physical intensity and humour. In her work, sound and visual metaphors meet the body, materialising the enigmatic, the poetic and the dissonant.
Lewis has received the Tabori Award in the Distinction category (2021); the Foundation for Contemporary Arts Grants award (2018); a Bessie Award for Outstanding Production for minor matter (2017); a Factory artist residency at tanzhaus nrw (2017-19); and a Prix Jardin d ‘Europe from ImPulsTanz for Sorrow Swag (2015).
His work has been presented throughout Europe and in the United States, at venues such as HAU Hebbel am Ufer, in Berlin; Tanzquartier, in Vienna; Arsenic, in Lausanne; MCA – Museum of Contemporary Art, in Chicago; Hammer Museum, in Los Angeles; Walker Art Centre, in Minneapolis; Kaaitheater, in Brussels; High Line Art, in New York; Performance Space, in New York; OGR Turin; Stedelijk, in Amsterdam; TATE Modern, in London, among others.
