The Work

In some places, we have pushed them away altogether. At the same time, during leisure time or fatigue, we take shelter in their shadow. Towering above the ground, holding tight below. We have done them wrong many times, yet they remain, nurturing their friends and loved ones. Trees.

AUDIENCE AWARD at Czech Dance Platform 2022

 

The Artist

After graduating from the art grammar school, Vera studied choreography at the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. She won the Most Outstanding Dancer Award at the Masdanza Festival in the Canary Islands and the First Prize for group work. 

She created the choreography for Havel’s Antikody at The National Theatre’s New Stage and worked as a performer with Japanese choreographer Min Tanaka in A body performance.

Her most successful performance GUIDE has been performed dozens of times worldwide and has won several awards: the Audience Award, the Lighting Design Award, and the Dancer of the Year awarded to Jaro Ondruš at the Czech Dance Platform. In 2017, the performance was selected among the 20 most interesting European works within the Aerowaves network. 

It has attracted viewers of all generations in Europe, the USA, Israel, and South Korea. In December 2021, her latest performance, WITNESS, premiered and won the Audience Award at the Czech Dance Platform 2022.
