Constanza Brnčić (Buenos Aires, 1974) is a choreographer and dancer. She has been developing her particular vision of the body and of performing for 20 years. She trained in contemporary dance, new dance and the theatre in New York and during her travels through Europe. She holds a BA in Philosophy and an MA in Contemporary Thinking, both awarded by the Universitat de Barcelona. She is currently pursuing a PhD in Contemporary Philosophy and the Classical Tradition, writing her thesis, supervised by Josep Maria Esquirol, on the subject of “Expression and Otherness in Merleau-Ponty”.

She soon became interested in Body Weather, an artform developed by the Japanese choreographers Min Tanaka and Hisako Horikawa, in which the body is seen as a multiple and changing entity. This aspect of her oeuvre is also influenced to a significant degree by the work of the American choreographer Lisa Nelson on perception and composition (Tuning Scores).

In 2000, she founded the Associació Cultural La Sospechosa, with which she has pursued numerous projects that all form part of her research into the relationship between the body and the surroundings, and the connection between teaching and learning. Also common to these projects is the fact that they seek to place artistic action in unusual contexts in order to generate critical thinking on the social role of art and in particular of the performing arts.

She works in a range of fields and formats, including creating for the stage, performing – as a dancer with companies such as Raravis / Andrés Corchero and Rosa Muñoz (1996-2009) and Malpelo (2002/2004) – and choreography, as well as social projects in diverse settings (hospitals, schools, prisons and groups of non-dancers) and projects in the realm of improvisation. She currently combines her creative work with teaching Composition and Improvisation on the Choreography degree course at the Conservatori Superior de Dansa, and as a guest teacher at the Escola Superior d'Art Dramàtic (Institut del Teatre).
