      • BIOGRAPHY
        I am Soraya Leila a Swiss-Moroccan performer choreographer based in Zürich.
        I completed my studies in contemporary dance at CFPArts Geneva (2014), at SEAD Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance (2017) and a master's degree in choreography at ZHdK (2024). My dance career includes engagements and collaborations with renowned choreographers and companies such as Archipelago, Cie 7273, Humanhood, Theater Pforzheim, Compagnie Mafalda, Horizon Vertical and many more. I am also the rehearsal director and choreographic assistant of Cie O. and guest choreographer for the next production of the up-and-coming company Cie WILD LIFE. Since 2023 I have been exploring the theme of female pleasure in my choreographic work and in 2023/24 I am a TanzPlan Ost Associated Artist with my full length piece TURN ON.


        DIPLOMAPROJECT
        Vanilla Baby! - a bold and witty exploration of pleasure and intimacy between bodies and grappling dummies. By questioning the dichotomy of human and non-human and a play of embodiment and disembodiment, the lines get blurred between subjects and objects, reality and performance, organic and artificial, public and private, play and fight. It’s journey into the unpredictable and a fluid search of the in-between spaces in which one can exist, express and be. Vanilla Baby! – it's time to feel alive.
