Nina Vallon

Nina Vallon was born in 1983 in Geneva Switzerland. She started her dance education at Conservatoire de Musique et de Danse de Genève and continued at Academia Beth Dorça (Bazil), to join Ballet Junior de Genève in 2001 and D.A.N.C.E. in 2005.

Based in Frankfurt since 2007, Nina has been dedicating herself to her choreographic practice and artistic work but also to the creation of spaces, platforms and structures for artists run by artists, fostering solidarity and complicity rather than competitiveness and isolation.

Following projects, structures, contexts, infrastructures have been developed and implemented in collaboration with other engaged artists – mostly together with Norbert Pape, Kristina Veit and Florian Ackermann: ID_Frankfurt / Independent Dance, a non-profit association for freelancing professionals involved in the creation research and dissemination of results in the field of choreography and performance(www.idfrankfurt.com); ROUGH CUTS Festival, a yearly festival with a curated platform for choreographic works, installations and performances that has since 2011 included workshops, exhibitions and residency programs for artistic research and creation (www.roughcuts.org); Z_Zentrum für Proben und Forschung, a new house with studios spaces and office, with focus on enabling creation, rehearsals and research in the field of contemporary performing arts and linked disciplines (www.zzentrum.org).

She curated the ROUGH SHOTS exhibition in 2012 at Platform Sarai, a gallery space in Frankfurt run by the documentary filmmaker Nat Skatchkov and visual artist Ira Kublin with support of their five children. Having turned their living room into a gallery, they have hosted numerous exhibitions and performances and created a unique intimate public space in the heart of Frankfurt which has been a meeting point and point of departure of many great projects.
