Andromeda Graziano

The language of movement is where I feel most at home.

Her contemporary dance training started with a BA (Hons) in Dance and Drama at Middlesex University, and a 1 Year Special Certificate in Contemporary Dance and Choreography at London Contemporary Dance School. An award from the Prince's Trust and Pépinières Européennes pour Jeunes Artistes to create a piece for the Ballet of Zaragoza, Spain, launched her career as a choreographer.

​

After ​performing for Janet Smith and Dancers, Tamara McLorg and Ian Woolley she co-formed 'White Monkey Trip',

In 2022 she returned to dance and choreography with her dance film 'Leap of Faith' in collaboration with Jack Elliott Hobbs. Screened at Chisenhale Dance Space and reviewed by Venezia Film Shorts as 'Beautiful cinematography, encapsulating the vibrant dance of Andromeda with grace.'​​

In 2023, diagnosed and treated successfully for endometrial cancer, she took 6 months leave and has returned to choreography full of effervescence for her new body and a new vocabulary of movement.

​In 2024 she has been working with Ian Woolley and electronicgypsy films on 'the Golden feather' a full-length dance film with original script in collaboration with the students of theschool, and, she is in the throes of creating a piece with pianist Raul Jimenez to Schumann's 'Fantasiestücke Op.12', 8 short pieces which will be presented ad hoc in public spaces that have pianos in situ, plus performances in Spain.
​For 2025: in the pipeline is another piece with Raul jimenez to Bach's 'Goldberg Variations'; a collaboration with Ian Woolley to Greig’s ‘Death of Aase’ a piece for 3 mature dancers based on mother-child relationships; and a reframing of the classic 'Manon Lescaut' by Abbe Prevost into a short dance film. ​


Always inspired by dance, music, film, art, and nature, family is key. An avid cook, keen gardener and painter, and lover of animals, travel, and French literature, the beach is where she finds her feet.
