Daniela Georgieva lives and works in Düsseldorf. Since her studies at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf she has been working interdisciplinary in the fields of visual arts, music, performance/dance. Since 2016, she has focused exclusively on dance and performance art, realizing mostly solos and her own choreographies. In 2021 Daniela Georgieva‘s first institutional performative work quixotic essence of a breath of movement/1x3 was shown at Neuer Aachener Kunstverein. In 2021 she performed in the format Now& Next at tanzhaus Düsseldorf with Hugo Le Brigand. In 2022 she created the performance destination_paradise for the Lindau Biennale, and the performance blank memory of absence for the Kunstraum hase29 in Osnabrück.
