Cosima Grand is a choreographer and dancer. In her artistic work, Cosima is primarily interested in the empathic potential of dance. In her practice, she explores how body movements and bodily sensations can connect people and create resonance. In her latest choreographic works, she has developed a physical practice based on rocking and trembling movements that incorporates work with the voice.
