Tutu Production supports Cindy Van Acker in the development of her projects.

Cindy Van Acker

Trained in classical dance in Antwerp, Cindy Van Acker has been creating her own pieces since 1994. She founded Cie Greffe in Geneva in 2002. Her meticulous choreography, which combines slowness, mentalization, constraint, geometry, minimalism, and spatial sound, unfolds in an extremely singular territory. Over the past 20 years, alternating powerful solos and striking group pieces, also working with movement at the heart of opera, Cindy Van Acker has been able to produce a dance that is essentially abstract yet always directly connected to the idea of struggle, resistance: “de strijd” in Flemish. Cindy Van Acker’s journey is notably marked by her encounters with choreographer Myriam Gourfink, electronic musician Mika Vainio, visual artist Victor Roy, and stage director Romeo Castellucci. Since November 2017, Cindy Van Acker has been an Associate Artist at the ADC (Association pour la danse contemporaine) in Geneva. Her work has earned her numerous awards (including two Swiss Dance Awards and the Chevalier de la Légion d’honneur). Cindy Van Acker is the 2023 laureate of the Grand Prix suisse des arts de la scène / Anneau Hans Reinhart.
