Katarína Brestovanská

Katarína Brestovanská is a Slovak dancer, choreographer and theoretician based between Slovakia, Czechia and Germany. Her choreographic thinking stems from the close relationship between classical and experimental music compositions and contemporary dance.

She engages with various musicians such as Martin Kosorín (Zoo and Aquarium), Ján Kružliak ml. (Spectrum Quartett), and Adam Dekan (Gladia and Moony), among others. As a choreographer, she collaborates with the German dance collective The Michael Douglas Kollektiv and visual artists from augmenty.art, based in Cologne, Germany. Since 2020, she has been leading research on Music composition as a basis for working with dance, performance, text and sound. Research focuses on the Baroque compositions of J.S. Bach. Kunstiftung NRW, Wuppertal, Germany and ArtCouncil Slovakia supported her research.

She graduated from the Faculty of Arts, Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia, in the departments of human resources management and cultural and social science. She studied piano interpretation for 15 years, juxtaposing classical ballet and contemporary dance. Katarína Brestovanská and the collective established the dance project En Vorentoe in 2021 as a result of their previous achievements in the performing arts. The last artwork of Codes of Bach, created by the collective, was premiered in October 2023.

She currently works at the SE.S.TA Centre for Choreographic Development in the field of theory and leads the SE.S.TA Blog.
