bio
Tanya is a choreographer, dancer, and teacher of dance practices.
Her works are hybrids of dance, performance, and conceptual art.
Tanya graduated from the Moscow Choreographic Lyceum as a ballet artist and later from the Moscow State Academy of Choreography as a choreographer. She went on to earn a master’s degree at GITIS, where she defended her thesis on the development of contemporary dance in Russia at the turn of the 20th–21st centuries.
She began working in contemporary dance as an intern at the “Ballet Moscow” theatre while still a student at the Choreographic Lyceum. Over time, her artistic interest shifted from contemporary dance techniques toward the research of dance itself.
Her early works already questioned the boundaries of dance, gradually expanding into interdisciplinary and performative fields.
Among her key works are “ Time to Time” and “City building”, where the pursuit of radical decisions becomes the narrative itself.
Her artistic focus is on choreography that tends toward reflection rather than assertion. This kind of choreography responds to reality through its own resonance rather than through clear answers. Frequent sources of inspiration include physics, philosophy, cinema, and everyday life. Minimalism and strict form remain the core artistic principles.
Tanya’s works have been presented in theatres and festivals across Russia, Europe, and the United States, including ImPulsTanz (Vienna), Movement Research (New York), NET Festival (Moscow), Golden Mask Festival (Moscow), Forma Festival (Moscow), Hauptsache Frei (Lichthof Theater, Hamburg), Limited Edition (Kampnagel, Hamburg), Antigel (Geneva), Hellerau (Dresden) and Voices (Berlin).
Since 2018, she has collaborated with dance dramaturg Anna Semenova Ganz while continuing to develop her own projects.
Born and raised in Moscow, but currently she lives in Berlin.
