CONSTANZA BRNČIĆ

dancer and choreographer

She has been developing her particular vision of the body and the performing arts for more than 30 years. She is trained in contemporary dance, new dance and theater in New York and traveling around Europe. Graduated in Philosophy and Master in Contemporary Philosophy by the University of Barcelona, she is currently doing her PhD in Contemporary Philosophy and Classical Tradition, with the thesis directed by Josep Maria Esquirol, Expression and otherness in Merleau-Ponty.

In 2000 she founded the Cultural Association La Sospechosa, an entity with which she carries out and produces numerous projects that have in common a research on the relationship between the body and the environment, on the teaching/learning relationship and that seek to put the artistic action in unusual contexts to generate a critical reflection on the social role of art and in particular of the performing arts. 

His fields of action include diverse formats: from stage direction, performer  -dancing with companies such as Raravis / Andrés Corchero and Rosa Muñoz (1996-2009) or Malpelo (2002/2004) and choreography, with pieces such as What is the word, Si se diera un cuerpo al bullicio, with musician Nuno Rebelo, el Ejercicio de la fuerza, through collaborative projects in different contexts such as hospitals, schools, prisons and non-dancers collectives. In the latter field, the intergenerational project PI(È)CE of scenic creation stands out, which has been developed in the Raval neighborhood of Barcelona since 2011, produced by Teatro Tantarantana, with which he has generated fifteen scenic projects of which Li diuen mar (Grec 2016 / CCCB Theater) and Oi Néoi (Grec 2019 / CCCB Theater) stand out. In the educational field she is commissioned by Mercat de les Flors to participate as choreographer of the project Totsdansen, for young people from all over Catalonia (2017-21) and is invited to the project In Residence of the ICUB (2018/19). She has received numerous commissions as stage director and choreographer such as the direction of the participatory opera Monster in the maze, by Jonathan Dove, (commissioned by the Grec Festival of Barcelona for the Grec Theater, 2018) or the concert for children Planeta Clarinet, commissioned by the Auditorium which has been repeated annually since 2015. She currently combines her creative work with teaching Composition and Improvisation and is director of the specialty in choreography and interpretation at the Conservatorio Superior de Danza (CSD / Instituto del Teatro) as well as guest professor at the Escuela Superior de Arte Dramático (ESAD / Instituto del Teatro).
