Neus Gil Cortés

Training/Education: Neus studied classical ballet at the Conservatory of Dance (Valencia) and Carmen Roche School (Madrid), and contemporary dance at Rotterdam Dance Academy, Codarts (Holland). Additional training includes Gaga Intensive (Tel Aviv).

Professional Experience: Neus danced for Dance Works Rotterdam (2006-2009), National Dance Company Wales (2009-2013), and Hofesh Shechter Company (2014-2015). She founded Nua Dance in 2015 and has been working professionally as a choreographer for theatre, circus, TV and film since. Her creations include QUIMERA (2019) and NOISE (BBC film 2021, immersive performance 2022). She has also received commissions from National Centre for Circus Arts, BA Dance City, and the Centres of Advance Training in Swindon and Newcastle. Neus has recently been selected to research a new piece, Bending Reality, by The Place as part of Choreodrome. This year, she’s also launching Lead&Create, an online leadership training for independent choreographers.

Biggest Inspiration: ‘Inspiration for my body of work comes from a curiosity about how we relate as humans to each other and ourselves, and is portrayed through relatable, expressive, and asymmetrical physicality.’
