Cosima Grand is a choreographer and dancer. In her artistic work, Cosima is primarily interested in the empathic potential of dance. In her practice, she explores how body movements and bodily sensations can connect people and create resonance. In her latest choreographic works, she has developed a physical practice based on rocking and trembling movements that incorporates work with the voice. Cosima completed her dance training at the CNDC d'Angers and was a member of the Cie Marchepied in Lausanne. She completed a bachelor's degree in multilingual communication at the University of Geneva. She studied theater studies and sociolinguistics at the University of Bern. Cosima collaborates and performs with Ruth Childs, Aina Alegre, Simone Truong, Chris Leuenberger, Jessica Huber, and others. Her own choreographic work includes the pieces CTRL-V(EP) (2nd prize PREMIO 2015), CTRL-V (LP) (2016), Hitchhiking through Winterland (2018), Restless Beings (2020), and things veer (2023). In 2015, she received the Culture Promotion Award from the Canton of Valais and in 2020 a Cultural Award from the City of Zurich. Cosima is an accomplice at Tanzhaus Zurich.
