Zendra Giraudo

Zendra Giraudo (they/them) is an emerging movement-based performer and maker, currently situated in Boorloo/Perth. They graduated from WAAPA with a Bachelor of Arts in Dance (2021) and Honours in Performance Making (2022). Zendra works across improvised and choreographed movement, and contemporary theatre, meanwhile developing their craft through visual, tactile, and multimedia artforms. They aspire to make felt, imagined worlds in their work through playful, collaborative, improvisational and anticolonial practice. She is interested in creating work that speaks through the individual to the collective, researching culture and identity through art, to interrogate knowledges held in the body and how they relate to the global experience.

Zendra was in the PAWA award-winning ensemble for The Complete Show of Water Skiing (dir. Laura Liu, 2022). In 2023 they danced in Co3’s Architect of the Invisible and Laura Boyne’s Subliminal Drift. Zendra was also the co-creator and performer for WHITESNAKE3000 (dir. Joe Paradise Lui) which was presented with The Blue Room Theatre (2023) and Co3 (2024). They completed online research residency [CP]³ 2024 with Singaporean dance company Dance Nucleus, supported by STRUT Dance. In 2025 they are co-producing improvisation platform, Make-Shift Evenings, for artists to practice experimental performance in a supported, low-stakes environment.
