Sandie Donzica is a French dancer, choreographer, dance teacher and yoga instructor based in Austin, TX. She is the artistic director of her multidisciplinary company Corps Multiple. Her attraction to devised work and interdisciplinarity lead her to work between the theatre, the dance world and the contemporary music field.

She has been a certified dance teacher since the age of 18 and obtained her Choreographic Studies Diploma at the Conservatory of Nice, France.

Her work centers on form-risking performances, fluid motion and theatrical movement, reaching in the depth of human nature and to the source of our emotions. She focuses with her company on immersive multidisciplinary improvisation. Collaboration, adaptation and vulnerability are at the center of her creative process; authenticity, articulation and refinement of qualities define her as a performer.

She is currently directing and choreographing for Corps Multiple. She is also the Development and Marketing Associate at The VORTEX and teaches dance and yoga classes.
