Claudia Hilda is a Cuban-born, New York-based movement director, performance and visual artist whose work embodies an expansive multidisciplinary practice. Deeply fascinated by the transformative power of visual and live arts, she creates gestural and visual compositions that explore themes of identity, ancestry, feminism, and contemporary cultural narratives. Claudia centers the body as the storyteller, bringing these themes to life through choreographic works, video art, and visual installations.

Her work continues to push the boundaries of performing arts, seamlessly blending various artistic disciplines into cohesive and compelling narratives. This approach is deeply informed by her multicultural perspective, which values diversity, embraces plurality, and honors cultural legacies. Claudia's art is a synthesis of consciousness and intuition, focusing on the interplay between body, mind, and society, resulting in works that are both thought-provoking and profound.

With a rich background in performing arts, Claudia enjoyed a decade-long career as the principal dancer of the Cuban National Company of Contemporary Dance (2013-2023). She has collaborated with renowned international choreographers, visual artists, filmmakers, and multidisciplinary creators, performing in prestigious theaters across Europe and America.

Claudia has successfully intertwined the worlds of professional practice and academia. She was awarded the prestigious Chevening and Leverhulme Arts Scholarships, which enabled her to earn a Master’s degree in Arts and Choreography from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in London, where she received the highest achievement prize in 2021. Her academic journey began with a Bachelor’s degree in Performing Arts from the University of Arts (ISA) in Cuba, where she was honored with a Research Award in 2017-2018.
