Claire Lefèvre (she/her)is a femme choreographer, insomniac writer and reality TV enthusiast currently based in Vienna, Austria. She likes to think of herself as a hostess, welcoming collaborators and audience members into kitsch landscapes where politics and poetics are gently interwoven. Currently she is exploring the archetype and working methods of a performance doula, a role imagined to dis-invisibilise care work in the context of performance-making. Her most recent stage work LOIE (is a fire that cannot be extinguished) dealt with somatic archives and systematic erasures within dance history. Claire’s work with text spans from poetry to grant applications, at times flirting with performance criticism, stand-up comedy or queer-feminist theory. She occasionally works as a ghost writer, but mostly because of the spectral appeal of the job title.
