Agnietė Lisickinaitė is a Lithuanian choreographer, performer, and educator whose work bridges contemporary dance, political engagement, and civic action. A graduate of the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre (BA in Contemporary Dance, MA in Choreography), she currently teaches there, mentoring emerging artists. Lisickinaitė explores the body as a site of resistance and protest. Her solo work Hands Up—a participatory performance investigating gesture, contradiction, and solidarity—has been presented in over 10 countries, including at New Baltic Dance (Vilnius), Santarcangelo Festival (Italy), What You See Festival (Utrecht), Théâtre de la Ville (Paris), and Toulouse Biennale, among others. From 2020 to 2024, she served as chairwoman of the Lithuanian Contemporary Dance Association and remains active on its board, advocating for the dance field through policy and community work. Guided by the belief that choreography is a form of activism, Lisickinaitė uses movement as a tool for dialogue, resistance, and transformation.
