Erica D'Amico

Erica D'Amico (b. 1995 in Trapani, Sicily, Italy) is an Italian choreographer, performer, and multidisciplinary artist based in Munich, Germany. Trained in classical ballet at the Accademia Nazionale di Danza in Rome and in contemporary dance at the Iwanson International School of Contemporary Dance, she works across choreography, performance, visual arts, and participatory practices.

Her artistic practice explores perception, communication, phisicality and memory, and human connection, creating immersive experiences that invite audiences to engage through multiple senses. By combining movement with drawing, sound, light, and interdisciplinary collaboration, she develops works that blur the boundaries between performer and spectator, making space for dialogue, empathy, and shared experience.

Alongside her independent artistic practice, Erica has collaborated with choreographers including Dustin Klein, Anna Konjetzky, Johanna Richter, Cristina D'Alberto, and Jasmine Ellis. She has performed at the Hamburg State Opera, the Salzburg Festival in productions by Shirin Neshat, the Bavarian State Opera, the Residenztheater Munich, the Origen Festival Cultural in Switzerland, and Haus der Kunst Munich, collaborating with artists such as Franz Erhard Walther, Dumb Type, Martino Gamper, and Joan Jonas.

Her choreographic work Second Daughter was selected as a finalist at the International Solo-Dance-Theatre Festival Stuttgart in 2020.

In 2026, Erica received the Debütförderung from the City of Munich for emerging artists, through which she created ECLISSI 143, an inclusive interdisciplinary performance developed and performed together with her blind father. The project investigates alternative ways of perceiving performance through movement, touch, sound, and accessibility, placing inclusion and human relationships at the centre of the artistic experience.

Driven by collaboration and experimentation, Erica continues to develop projects that bring together professional artists, communities, and audiences, seeking new ways to experience performance beyond visual perception and conventional theatrical forms.
