Compagnie Blanca Li

Blanca Li was born in Granada, Spain, where she was en route to becoming a world class gymnast before abandoning the sport to travel to New York City where she spent five years studying at the Martha Graham Dance Center. Li moved back to Europe to found her own contemporary dance company in Paris, which, in its 22 years, performed in over 1,000 venues world-wide with 15 creations. In addition to her commercial film and fashion work, choreographing for her own troupe of dancers, Li has choreographed dances for the Paris Opera Ballet and the Metropolitan Opera in New York. Her show ROBOT had its US premiere at BAM Howard Gilman Opera House in June 2015 and her latest show, a duet with the Etoile from Bolshoi Ballet Maria Alexandrova, titled Goddesses & Demonesses was performed for a 12 performance series at Theatre des Champs Elysées in Paris in December 2015 and will be performed at New York City Center in March 2017.
