Lea Bessoudo Greck is a French-israeli choreographer, and director, currently serving as the Artistic Director of the Ballet at the National Moravian-Silesian Theatre (NDM) in Czechia.

Originally from the South of France, Lea received her classical foundation at the Princess Grace Academy of Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo and studied art history through The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) program in New York. Driven to explore movement in its rawest, most visceral forms, she relocated to Israel in 2013 to join Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company (KCDC). Over a decade with the company, she performed worldwide in signature works by Rami Be’er (Horses In The Sky, Mother’s Milk, Asylum), as well as creations by Martin Harriague and Eyal Dadon. Beyond performing, she played a vital role in company leadership as Rehearsal Director, ballet teacher, and director of the INSIDERS Creative Lab.

As a choreographer and audiovisual artist, Lea bridges contemporary dance with visual art, live installation, and film. Her choreographic portfolio includes recognized stage works such as “Who Am I” and “Where is Charlie” for KCDC 2, “Salamandra” (Smilansky Festival), “Good Man Bad Man” (Jerusalem International Dance Festival), and multidisciplinary projects including the installation “OXYGEN” and the dance film “The Arrival” with François Vogel.

Her creative partnership with the National Moravian-Silesian Theatre began through landmark choreographic works including “Šárka” (presented alongside works by Jiří Kylián, Marco Goecke, and Justin Peck), choreography for the opera “The Brandenburgers in Bohemia”, and “Requiem” for “More Than Mozart!”.

Lea’s artistic vision thrives at the intersection of classical discipline, contemporary physical expression, and a heightened aesthetic sensibility. Grounded in visual storytelling and refined stagecraft, her work fosters environments where creative boundaries dissolve, awakening sensations and placing human connection at the center of the stage.
