Lea Ved (1991, Anaheim) is an independent choreographer and performer based in the Netherlands. Her work and research developed alongside a rich dance career — in reflection, deviation, and inquiry. Her creations are exploratory and investigative in nature, with a physical language seeped between the detail of form and a cultivated improvisational practice. She is interested in the body as conduit for the expression of heritage, simplicity, disruption, absurdity, catharsis. Her work has been described as vigorous and raw, coupled with subtle and vulnerable, leaving impressions that are soft and tactile with poetic seriousness. She graduated from The Juilliard School and has performed internationally with Nederlands Dans Theater, The Royal Swedish Ballet, RUBBERBANDance Group, and as a guest with Kidd Pivot, Out Innerspace Dance Theater, and Anne Plamondon Productions. Her more notable works as a choreographer have been produced by Whim W’him, Göteborgsoperans Danskompani, Nederlands DT, Korzo Theater, Poetic Disasters Club, Heavy Hitters Breakdance Crew and CaDance Festival. In 2025 she joined Korzo Theater for four years as an artist in residence.
