bio

Liza Šimenc (1991) is an interdisciplinary artist based in Slovenia, working at the intersection of contemporary dance and visual arts. With a status of self-employment in culture since 2015, Liza primarily expresses through movement and performance. Her work also extends to scenography, costume design, spatial and light installations. She also creates site-specific interventions in public spaces, as well as somatic performances. 

Liza received her formal education at the International Ballet School Bled and the Conservatory of Music and Ballet Ljubljana, complementing this with further studies abroad in Hong Kong, New York, London, Madrid, Brussels, Vienna, Budapest, Milan, and Berlin. In recent years, she has focused on the exploration of movement within extreme states of consciousness, challenging conventional perceptions of the stigmatized body.

Liza's work reflects a deep engagement with the body as a medium, creating multi-disciplinary experiences that bridge performance and visual art.
