Amanda Piña was born in Chile and studied Physical Theatre in Santiago and Contemporary Dance in Barcelona, Salzburg and Montpellier (Ex.e.r.ce Centre Choregraphique National de Montpellier). She started creating performances for the theatre and the public space in Mexico. She is interested in the spectator and in shaping new ways of encountering both, the work in performance and the relationship with the audience. Her last work as choreographer conformed the tetralogy “Self”, “You”, “WE”, and “THEM”, shown in different venues and festivals in Europe and Latin America (Image Tanz Festival, Tanzquartier Wien, Southbank Centre London, Mousonturm Frankfurt, Kampnagel Hamburg, ImPulsTanz Fesival, Danzalborde Valparaiso, Sophiensäle Berlin and Brut Wien among others). Since 2005 she has been working in collaboration with the visual artist Daniel Zimmermann and with the creative association nadaproductions. Her new performance "Socialmovements" will premiere in October at Tanzquartier Wien.
