Rita Góbi is a dancer, choreographer and dance teacher, who is continuously exploring the styles and languages of dance. Born in Novi Sad, Serbia; graduated at Hungarian Dance Academy in Budapest.

Rita started her career working with several Hungarian-based dance companies (Ballet Pécs, Yvette Bozsik Company, Réka Szabó’s Company-The Symptoms, Natural Art Disasters, Eva Duda Company, L1 Dance Association), and working with the film director Miklós Jancsó.

In 2006 she founded Góbi Dance Company. Since then she has created several contemporary dance productions, interactive performances for children and took part in various interdisciplinary projects (exhibition openings, fashion shows, etc.). Her solo piece Volitant received several national and international awards (Aerowaves Twenty18 - priority artist). She created two Japanese co-productions, titled Vibration and Freestyle. She is touring worldwide with her performances.

She is also a dance teacher at Nemes Nagy Ágnes Art Vocational School, Budai Táncklub, and she regularly holds workshops in Hungary and internationally. She also works as an invited choreographer in puppet theatres and movement theatres working with actors.

The works of Rita Góbi could be best described as brave and experimental as well as precisely choreographed. She has a geometrical, minimalistic, rather reductionistic style. Her concept of choreography is based on instinctive, monotonic and repetitive, miniature movements, and phasing of the body and state changes that evolve from these movements. She transforms the line of motions slowly and consistently. The accord of movements, music, projected visual effects and lights are creating the futuristic atmosphere of her performances.
