Nyuta Yakovenko

Age: 33

Revelations, emotions, being in the moment, «here and now», can be accessed through the dance. When the dance is a tool to get to know yourself. When the dance is a continuous search.

Founder of «THEM» creative association, «Concept» street dance territory, «7 Chapters» and «Nothing Extra» movement labs. All of her projects are aimed to introduce street dancing to the wider audience; to merge the art of dance, theatre and performance together; to help creative youth by developing their talents.

Dancers and dancing teams under the leadership of Nyuta Yakovenko have repeatedly become winners and medalists of various local and international competitions and battles. Over the past two years she took part, as a performer, in the following projects:

• «Uzel» plastic theater performance — a joint project with the Del Theatre
• «Zero» Contemporary Dance Theater under the leadership of Michael Shargodarov. Special prize in the «best showcase» category at the «F*ck the winter battle» festival (Riga, Latvia);
• «Best Fest» festival Grand Prix, in the «best team» category (Kaliningrad)

«For me, dance is a journey over the edge; and I want for each of you to experience it.»
