Laima Jaunzema is a Latvian artist working across performance, choreography, artistic research and collective learning. Her practice explores the body as a site where personal histories, cultural inheritances and collective structures intersect. Through performance, movement research and alter egos such as Lizard Woman, she investigates questions of agency, access, belonging and knowledge production. Alongside her artistic practice, she performs, teaches and facilitates processes that bring embodied knowledge, critical reflection and collective imagination into dialogue. She graduated from the School for New Dance Development in Amsterdam.
