Veza Fernandez (ES/AT)

is a Vienna-based dance, voice, and performance artist. Her work explores the voice as a place of relation, imagination, and transformation, weaving singing, writing, dance, and speech into intense, polyphonic performances. Her pieces are sensitive and intense, casting polyphonically a convocation of voices and presences that yearn to move and to be moved. Her background stretches between Philology, Pedagogy, Theater, Music and Contemporary Dance. Fields that in one way or the other influence her artistic research and modus operandi within art making and art presenting. Fernandez’ work is strongly rooted locally, infiltrating from within the underground scene bigger dance and theater institutions. She holds a Masters in Choreography from DAS Graduate school (Amsterdam Academy for Theatre and Dance). Her work has been shown amongst other in brut Wien, Tanzquartier Vienna, Sophiensaele Berlin, Gesnerallee Zürich, de Singel Antwerp, La Casa Encendida Madrid.
