Transmission

About

An important chapter in Greffe transmission agreement 2025 – 2027 is the mentoring of a young artist. “Anna-Marija Adomaityte is one of the artists who really gave me the feeling that it’s still worthwhile getting into dance today. As part of this transmission agreement, I immediately thought of her.” These are Van Acker’s words about the young dancer and choreographer, whose integrity, authenticity, and radicalism she hails as a true signature that moves her.

The aim of the collaboration will be for the two choreographers to develop their work alongside each other, in a relationship of mutual esteem and trust. The Cie Greffe team, for its part, will concentrate its support on helping professionalize the fledging A M A structure, passing on its experience and skills in the development of cultural projects. The company's studio - l'Impasse - will also be the shared home of Cie Greffe and Anna-Marija Adomaityte - Cie A M A for the next three years.

Born in Lithuania in 1995 and trained at La Manufacture and ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne, Adomaityte founded the A M A dance company in Geneva in 2019. She made a name for herself with her radical movement in her first piece, workpiece (2021), which explores the influence of the social context on the body. Over the last four years, she has undergone an impressive evolution, moving from the creation of solos to duets, then to group choreography (TikTok-Ready Choreographies, 2024), imposing her style and developing projects off the beaten track. She was awarded the Leenaards Foundation Cultural Grant 2024 and the June Johnson Newcomer Prize 2024. In 2025, she co-directed with Élie Grappe the short documentary I Think You Should Be Here, exploring the creation of TikTok-Ready Choreographies. The film was selected for the 65th edition of Cannes Critics’ Week the following year. She is currently developing her next project, which is scheduled to premiere in autumn 2027. She is an "artist complice" at ADC for the 2026–2029 period.
