Daniela Georgieva (*1979) comes from Bulgaria and now lives and works in Düsseldorf. As an interdisciplinary artist who originally comes from the visual arts and has produced electronic music herself as sound artist Pony, she has focussed exclusively on dance and performance art since 2016. In her artistic work, she thematises diverse levels of relationships that are expressed in physicality and dance and gives the complex connections between people a visible form. In doing so, she questions and deconstructs social norms and power structures, particularly in relation to body images, age, gender roles and queer identities, and creates space for the diversity of dancing bodies and gender-neutral forms of expression.
Most recently, her artistic productions have been shown at Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, tanzhaus nrw, brut Wien, as part of the düsseldorf festival and also nationally as art in public space. Georgieva also teaches design in the context of space at the Peter Behrens School of Arts in Düsseldorf.
