Léa Tirabasso
Léa was born in 1985 in Moyeuvre-Grande (FR).
She is a dancer and a choreographer.
She holds a BA in History of Art and Modern Literature.
In 2009 she graduates from London Contemporary Dance School with a Certificate of Higher Education.
As a dancer, she has worked with Johannes Wieland, Stephanie Thiersch, Michael Langeneckert (DE), Chris Haring (AT) José Vidal & Company (CL), Clod Ensemble, Seke Chimuntengwende, James Finnemore, Seven Sisters Group, Peter Groom (UK), Jean-Guillaume Weis, Bernard Baumgarten (LU).
For two seasons, she was a full time member of the TanzTheater Ensemble in Kassel (DE), under the direction of Johannes Wieland.
She danced in a few music videos (for the fun: The Kooks, Cash+David)
As a choreographer, her first works « XX » (2012-2013) and « Simones » (2013) were performed in Germany, England and Luxembourg.
The critically acclaimed and start-of-everything « love me tender » (2015) was performed in Luxembourg, the UK, France, Germany and Spain.
« TOYS » (2017), was performed in Luxembourg, the UK and South Korea.
She is currently touring her latest work « The Ephemeral life of an octopus » (2019). The piece has been selected to take part in the 10th edition of PODIUM (fka. Concours (re)connaissance) in Nov 2019, and is part of the Aerowaves 2020 Selection. The work toured in Luxembourg, the UK and France. A wonderful European tour had been cancelled due to COVID, but we believe the octopus will be back on the road for good.
Léa is regularly invited to talk about the process of the piece to medical students of University College London.
At the moment, her head is full with the creation of « Starving Dingoes » (2021).
Léa was invited to The Hub as a guest artist to work with the Post-Graduate students of London Contemporary Dance School. In 2020/2021 she created the piece « A million eyes » for EDGE Dance Company of London Contemporary Dance School.
In 2016, Léa received the prestigious award Arts et Lettres in Luxembourg (Institut Grand Ducal) for her work as a dancer and choreographer.
She works in Luxembourg and in London.
Does love chocolate and misses going to the theatre at the moment.
