Clara Wiest is a NY based stage director, movement director, acrobat, dancer and performer who is focused on the human expression through the connection with the body and the mind.

My work is about exploring human (e)motions - meaning emotional content expressed through physicality. I strive to bring humanity to my work behind and on stage

My work is primarily experimental and movement based.

My extensive movement background influences the way I interact with my work and with the world.

I was born in Zurich, Switzerland - lived there for 11 years - and then moved to China (Beijing and HongKong) and eventually moved to New York, where I am based now.
