About

Contemporary, jazz and hip hop dancer, painter and choreographer, based in Munich.

Chiara Laurenza dancing on stage

I am Chiara, a contemporary, jazz and hip hop dancer, and a painter. I completed the Basic Year at Iwanson, the International School of Contemporary Dance in Munich, training in contemporary dance, jazz and ballet, and I paint in acrylics.

In Art Chiasma, movement comes first: we dance a feeling, pause, and let the body decide the colours on the canvas.

Before dance became my path, I studied bioinformatics at TUM and LMU. It taught me to look closely at what happens inside a system. Today, that system is the body.
