Transpoesie - Poets

Sveta Grigorjeva is an Estonian choreographer, dancer, poet and critic. Her productions include “TEKHNE” (2020) and “FAKERZ” (2021), “Dances to Sleep, Dream and Resist” (2022), which was awarded the best dance performance at the 2023 Estonian Theatre Awards. She is also one of this year’s laureates of Sirp, Estonian Cultural newspaper. She has published three poetry collections: “Who is Afraid of Sveta Grigorjeva” (2013), “American Beauty” (2018) and “Frankenstein” (2023). As an artist, she is interested in the Spinoza-like “we still don’t know what the body is capable of” reset and often in the possible subversive nature and potential of the expressive body and text. Grigorjeva has danced in her own and others’ works in Estonia and abroad. In 2022, he received a second master's degree from the Justus-Liebig University in Giessen, Germany, and in the fall of 2023, he began doctoral studies as a junior researcher at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre.
