Ziomara Hormaetxe Fernández earned a degree in Art History from the University of the Basque Country and is a choreographer and dancer from Gernika.
She studied dance at the Université Sophia Antipolis in Nice and at the École Supérieure de Danse in Cannes. After years of freelancing, in 2014 she founded her own company, Ziomara Hormaetxe Company. Since then she has been working on the creation of artistic projects as an independent choreographer and performer. She is constantly striving to integrate dance and new technologies, collaborating with artists who work with touch designers, new media artists, interactive video, Cinema 4D or Artificial Life Scenography with AI.
Some of her most notable works include “Symbiosis”, which toured Venezuela; “Biopiracy”, which premiered at the New Dance Festival in South Korea and at the Detroit City Dance Festival in the US; and Ahotsak, featuring testimonies of the victims of the Gernika bombing, which premiered at the Le Temps D'Aimer la Danse Festival in Biarritz and the Le Etoile du Nord theatre in Paris.
She combines her work as a performer and choreographer with teaching, leading contemporary dance workshops and developing new projects.
