Founder of the company, Biljana Lipic is an artist, teacher and director. In both her professional and personal life, her creative inspiration springs from an interdisciplinary perspective, which is informed by her formal and vocational study of dance, martial arts, theatre, design, contemporary psychology and shamanism. Through it, she seeks communication that is based on transparency, honesty and awareness, all of which she believes can bring about personal as well as social change.

Taking on Argentine Tango as her major form of expression, she has been involved with various aspects of it for 13 years. She has played a pioneering role in setting up its social scene across UK and Europe - teaching workshops and running dance venues.

She begun her performance work in 1999, exploring various ideas, which have gradually evolved into a unique dance-theatre language. Her biggest piece La Milonga Interna - Tango a fairytale, which was premiered at the Madeira Festival '04, was acclaimed by the critics as an "...intimate, intense and most of all artistic... a sensual and colorful show..." Her latest piece Una Noche en Buenos Aires was commissioned for an event in the Royal Opera House held in May 2006.

Her media work include dance appearances in the movie Evita, True TV's Dance Tips with Aleksei Sayle, BBC's Tango ident, ITN's documentary Tell Tale Signs, as well as coaching for the BBC's dance series Strictly Dance Fever and Alek Keshishian's feature film Love and Other Disasters.

Her artistic development has been directly linked to her shamanic work. For over 10 years, she has trained within the Afro-American, Keltic and Eastern-European shamanic traditions. She sees her life's work in articulating these ancient ways of authentic living through contemporary aesthetics and language.

Born in Sarajevo, Bosnia, she is resident in UK. After 14 years spent in London, she presently enjoys living in Cornwall.
