Ksenia & David — artists, collaborators, partners in life and creation. For the past 11 years, they have been building worlds together where music, dance, and storytelling meet.
Ksenia Parkhatskaya
Creator & Performer
Ksenia Parkhatskaya is an award-winning dance artist, choreographer, singer, and performer known worldwide for her distinctive voice in jazz dance and theatrical performance. Known today for her mastery of solo jazz styles, she has been dubbed the “Jazz Age Dance Maestro” by LA Magazine and “a contemporary jazz sensation who sees no limitations” by Hong Kong Magazine. Ksenia has performed and taught in over 35 countries, collaborating with renowned ensembles such as the Christian McBride Trio (US), Postmodern Jukebox (US) and the Paris Opera Orchestra (FR). As a choreographer, she is celebrated for her cinematic approach, often creating dance films that have received international recognition.
At times serious and philosophical, at others absurd and humorous, her work takes many forms but always returns to the same core themes: spirituality, identity, and humanity.
