Biography

Viktoriia Yerchyk is a Ukrainian movement artist and choreographer based in Berlin. Her practice investigates how the body finds agency under material and spatial constraints. She began professionally in Kyiv’s commercial scene (2018), creating music videos and live shows for Foals, Muse, and Ed Sheeran, learning to construct precise images under high-pressure timelines. After the 2022 invasion, she relocated to Berlin, studying Dance, Context, and Choreography at UDK and training with Alexander Vantournhout, Sigal Zouk, and Thiago Granato.
She participated in residencies including DACH (Fonds DaKu, Hamburg), Tanzwerkstatt Europa (Goethe-Institut, Munich), and LOORE (Nordic Culture Point, Tallinn). During a residency, she developed Synesthesia, a system converting vocal input into movement-generated sound, exploring technique as survival and the body as interface. Her hybrid film and stage project Intimate Spaces saw her act as movement director, guiding performers through restrictive architectures and garments, translating physical resistance into visual and cinematic language. She treats metal, textiles, and architecture as forces shaping movement, investigating how displacement and survival structure technique and agency.
