Soroa Lear (she/her) is a queer Cuban-American dancer, performer, and writer based in Berlin. She completed her studies in dance and comparative literature at Reed College, which sparked her interest in the intersections of movement and critical theory. Her work is heavily influenced by physical theater, drag, Gaga, and nightclub culture. She sees performance as a way to break hearts and make people laugh, connecting to the dramatic and the subtle, the ugly and the beautiful. She has worked for Staatsoper Berlin, Deva Schubert, Rebecca Howell, Sebastian Abarbanell, and Aru Ray Tormann amongst others, and has performed in spaces such as Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlinische Galerie, Sophiensaele, KINDL- Zentrum für zeitgenössische Kunst, Ballhaus Ost, Uferstudios Berlin, and many nightclubs with many drag queens. She has created and performed her own works, including “Look! Lilies, Limerence” (2024) and “THIS IS A LOVE STORY” (2025). She is currently a member of the performance collective RAYNE & CEREMONY. Alongside her performance work, she teaches a tri-weekly improvisation class, “VIBRANT BODY” at Tanzfabrik Berlin. Her written works have been published by Penny Press and Confluence Journal.
