Nina Negri is an Italian director and choreographer based in Switzerland. Following her studies in philosophy, she attended the Rencontres Internationales de Danse Contemporaine in Paris and the Accademia Dimitri in Locarno, where she specialized in contemporary performance and scenic arts. She continues her professional training at the École des Maîtres and at the Venice Theatre Biennale with Jan Lauwers and Thomas Ostermeier. In 2018, she obtained a Master of stage direction at the Haute école des arts de la scène de Suisse Romande HES-SO La Manufacture in Lausanne.
As director and choreographer, after several collective performative forms such as Adèle H., GirlisaGun or Carto-graphies de Corps Migrants, she founded the AlmaVenus company, with which she wrote and directed M. la Multiple, Sous Influence and Violence Forest. As a performer or artistic collaborator, she has worked with El Conde de Torrefiel, Barbara Nicolier, ricci/forte, Blandine Masson, Kahena Sanaa, Giorgio Rossi, Flavia Papadaniel, Pascal Rambert, Nicolas Zlatoff, Christiane Mudra, The Moors collective, Zuzana Kakalikova, Pietro Marullo, Claire de Ribaupierre and Massimo Furlan, among others.
Nina Negri has also realized a series of short experimental documentaries and a feature-length film with Pietro Pasquetti, Il Vangelo Secondo Maria, which traces the marginalization of the Roms in the context of strong xenophobia in northern Italy, selected at the International Turin Film Festival and winner of the Avanti! award.
As a pedagogue, she teaches Butoh dance in several scenic institutions (ESAD Paris, Piccolo Teatro in Milan, Festival Artdanthé Paris, Festival des Journées Chorégraphiques de Carthage, Tunis), she is a guest professor in the Master and Bachelor at La Manufacture in Lausanne, and has directed theater and dance laboratories for children in associations, schools, suburbs, centers for the disabled, as well as in many theaters (TPR La Chaux-de-Fonds, Comédie de Genève, Théâtre de Vidy-Lausanne, Théâtre les Halles de Sierre) for nearly fifteen years. She has also worked with the Ville en Tête association, raising awareness of the ecological issues inherent in building culture among 300 primary school children in the Canton of Vaud.
Nina Negri has just completed a research project on the scenic potential of editing with director and researcher Clémentine Colpin, as part of La Manufacture HES-SO's Research & Development department, in partnership with Geneva's HEAD University of Art and Design.
