Cosima Grand is a choreographer and dancer. In her artistic work, Cosima is primarily interested in the empathetic potential of dance. In her practice, she explores how people can connect and resonate with one another through bodily movement and physical sensation. In her recent choreographic works, she has developed a body practice based on rocking and trembling movements that also incorporates voice work. Cosima completed her dance training at the CNDC d’Angers and was a member of Cie Marchepied in Lausanne. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in communication multilingue from the University of Geneva. At the University of Bern, she studied Theatre Studies and Sociolinguistics. Cosima collaborates and performs with artists including Ruth Childs, Aina Alegre, Simone Truong, Chris Leuenberger, and Jessica Huber. Her own choreographic work includes the pieces CTRL-V(EP) (2nd Prize PREMIO 2015), CTRL-V (LP) (2016), Hitchhiking through Winterland (2018), Restless Beings (2020), things veer (2023), and Schmerzstück (2025). In 2015, she received the Cultural Promotion Prize of the Canton of Valais, and in 2020, a Cultural Award from the City of Zurich. Cosima is a Komplizin at Tanzhaus Zürich.
