Liga Lewis is a choreographer and dancer based in Berlin. Lewis weaves together critical and literary texts with dance and theater as she interrogates the metaphors and social inscriptions of the body. She engages with the choreographic through embodied, sensorial, and immersive performances, with a predilection towards interiority and abstraction. Her choreographies can be described as experientially rich and complex. Lewis has shared her work in multiple contexts including visual arts and theater. As a dancer, Lewis has performed extensively across Europe and abroad in theater, dance and film productions including: with choreographers Eszter Salamon, Mette Ingvartsen, Jeremy Wade, and Kat Válastur; theater director Ariel Efraim Ashbel; artist Wojciech Kosma; and in films by Wu Tsang and Uli Edel.   Lewis was awarded the Prix Jardin d’Europe for her work “Sorrow Swag“ at Impulstanz Festival in Vienna 2015. “minor matter,“ for the theater, is her latest creation in development, which will premiere in the fall at HAU Hebbel-am-Ufer.
