Andrea Peña is a Colombian-Canadian choreographer and designer and the founder of Andrea Peña & Artists (AP&A), an interdisciplinary contemporary dance company.
Her practice operates at the intersection of choreography, design, and material systems, engaging the body as both material and agent within constructed environments. Working across performance, installation, and expanded formats, Peña develops choreographic systems that explore hybridity, agency, and futurity, often situating the body in dialogue with technology, spatial structures, and collective imaginaries.

Her practice draws from a background in industrial design and investigates questions of hybridity, embodiment, and transformation within contemporary performance.
