Silvia Sviteková

Silvia Sviteková is currently a PhD student at the Ateliér priestorových komunikácií + video at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design. She graduated in Dance Theatre and Performance (B.A.) and Dance Art (M.A.) at the Faculty of Music and Dance, Academy of Performing Arts. She is a dancer, performer and co-organizer of the festival Tanečno.

She is currently working on the theme of the performativity of the body in contemporary art. In her earlier works, she has explored themes such as the use of pop music in dance performance, working with the object as an equal partner, and striving to understand and, most importantly, grasp experience (both collective and individual). She is fascinated by situations that are oscillating, ambivalent, ambiguous or even kitsch.

Silvia has created several solo and group performances and has participated in many artistic projects. Her solo work Memory of Concrete was awarded the Gala Art Moves 2018 and presented at festivals at home and abroad. She is part of YOLT - You Only Live, which won the Theatre Boards 2023 Award for Outstanding Achievement in Dance Theatre.
