Claire Lefèvre

is a femme choreographer, insomniac writer, and reality TV enthusiast currently based in Vienna, Austria. She likes to think of herself as a hostess, welcoming collaborators and audience members into kitsch landscapes where politics and poetics are gently interwoven. Between 2019 and 2022 she researched the concept of radical softness as choreographic strategy, embracing hypersensitivity as a method, a topic, and a portal through which to imagine two works: Peachfuzz and Full Melt Down. Her last stage work LOIE (is a fire that cannot be extinguished) dealt with somatic archives and systematic erasures within dance history. Behind the scenes, she is exploring the archetype and working methods of a performance doula, a role imagined to disinvisibilize care work in the context of performance making.
