BIO
Veronica Lillo
is a Berlin-based contemporary dancer, movement artist, and creative and movement director working across performance, film, fashion, and music.
She received a scholarship to train at the Scuola del Balletto di Toscana in Florence, under the direction of Cristina Bozzolini, building a strong technical foundation in ballet, modern, contemporary dance, and street styles. In 2018, she was selected for the Artistic Development Program in Freiburg, mentored by Romain Guion and Monica Gillet and based on the methodology of Les Ballets C de la B, further shaping her authorial and compositional approach to movement.
Since 2017, she has been working internationally as a freelance artist, collaborating with choreographers and artists including Katrina Bastian, Willi Dorner, Svea Schneider, Jara Serrano, Rebecca Dirler, Roni Rotem, Sadeck Waff, Anja Kozik, and Elisa Barucchieri. She performed in BEFORE/AFTER (2020), a co-production by Noord Nederlands Toneel, Club Guy & Roni, and Poetic Disasters Club, and has been a core member of Oxymoron Dance Company since 2022. Since 2024, she has been a guest dancer with Staatstheater Cottbus, and since 2025 with Sasha Waltz & Guests, performing In C at the Philharmonie Berlin.
With Monstera Collective, her dance film Separazione Naturale has been selected by numerous international festivals — including Fifth Wall Fest (Philippines), Hangart Fest, Braga International Dance Film Festival, Patras Dance Film Festival, and Corpo Mobile — and received the Audience Award at the Moving Bodies on Screen Festival in Potsdam (2025). In 2024, the collective curated the site-specific performance Attract at ICG Gallery during Berlin Art Week.
Alongside her performative work, she develops her own artistic projects, presented internationally across festivals and platforms. Her solo While I (st)roll alone has been shown at festivals including Gdański Festiwal Tańca, Tanztheater Festival Erfurt, SOLOCOREOGRAFICO Frankfurt, and Solo Dance Ankara, and in 2022 she premiered Medi at Performing Arts Festival Berlin. These works mark the development of a personal choreographic language that extends into immersive and cross-disciplinary formats.
She is the founder of CINQUE Legacy, a platform for contemporary cross-disciplinary artistic creation. Within this framework, she conceived and produced METANOIA – Art of Transformation, an immersive experience merging movement, fashion, light, sound, and visual art, which premiered on 29 March 2026 at Alte Münze Berlin and is currently being developed as an evolving format for international touring.
