Regina Rossi

Regina Rossi was born and grew up in Brazil. She studied theater, choreography and performance studies in Porto Alegre, Amsterdam and Hamburg. She is currently doing her PhD in theater studies (Giessen) with Prof. Bojana Kunst on “Artistic practice as art of instituting”. Since 2009 Rossi lives and produces her own artistic works in Hamburg, which have been shown throughout Germany. The choreographer combines contemporary dance with popular movement cultures such as couple dance, samba or capoeira, as well as performance art and elements of pop-culture and feminist art.

In many of her previous works she negotiated omnipresent Western female body images and ideals, which she opposes with her own, humorous, sensual and provocative aesthetics. Since 2018, Rossi also focusses on the production of performances and teaching of dance and performance strategies for children and young audiences.
