Vasiliki Bara is a choreographer, dancer, and dance mediator based in Leipzig, Germany. She has a Master’s degree in Dance Studies from the Freie Universität Berlin, during which she participated in the projects "The Prepared Body" by Deborah Hay and "Valeska's Blind Date" by Meg Stuart. In 2019, she completed her degree with her thesis on the perception of the disabled body in contemporary dance.

Vasiliki presented her choreographic works "A Piece of God" (2019) and "From the other Side" (2021) as well as the mixed-abled productions "The Dream" (2022) and "The Person I am" (2023) at LOFFT - DAS THEATER. In 2023, she choreographed "Lust" for the company of the Leipziger Tanztheater, which was performed at the Schaubühne Lindenfels and Werk2. Her solo performance "inside human" premiered in 2024 at Schaubühne Lindenfels.

In her pieces, Vasiliki seeks the essence of the human soul and the truths we hide within ourselves. Her work is a visceral exploration of the human body, where sensuality and distortion merge to create powerful, evocative images. Drawing from her personal experiences as a woman and her Greek heritage, her work is a collection of thoughts, emotions, and reflections on sexuality, vulnerability, freedom and the tension between reality and imagination. 

For her artistic work, she has received funding, grants and residencies from the Fonds Darstellende Künste, the Dachverband Tanz Deutschland, the Kulturstiftung des Freistaates Sachsen, the Kulturamt Leipzig, 4fT e. V. and SMouTh. She has been in the Artist Development Program of LOFFT - DAS THEATER since 2024.

As a dancer, Vasiliki has worked on projects by Alexis Blake, Ildikó Tóth, Irina Pauls, Jone San Martín, Mandy Unger, Marlen Schumann and René Reinhardt.
