Liza Baliasnaja

Liza Baliasnaja is a choreographer working between Lithuania and Belgium at the moment, also an active lecturer, and performer. She studied dance and choreography in The Netherlands, the Artez academy, and in Belgium, the P.A.R.T.S dance school. From the age of 16, she was a part of the AURA dance theatre troupe for two years, performing in international festivals in Lithuanian and abroad.

After finishing her studies in 2016, she has started education activities – giving seminars in Lithuania for students, amateurs, and professionals.

Her choreography creations “Figures” and “Commensurate to be with” are being shown within the dance and visual fields in Lithuania and abroad.

Liza’s artistic practices are about blending art theory, philosophy, critical thinking, and methodologies of dace research together.
