GRETA PUNDZAITE’s practice steps at the intersection of physical presence, motion and disciplinary inquiry. Grounded in an early and sustained engagement with movement, her work unfolds from physicality as both source and site of creative and epistemic processes — where memory, sensation, and agency melt, regardless of the physical form in question; for flesh-like bodies and materials alike. Her doctoral research in Arts bridged movement with neurological and phenomenological perspectives, reframing motion as equivalent to physicality and synonymous with knowing, rather than transitional. With attention to the specifics of hierarchy and representation, her work, across artistic and research contexts, aims to clarify the notion of physical via exploration of its expansive self-generating intelligence, rather than its discipline, leading to the aim of clarifying and embracing creation as a self-generating universal principle.

Graduate of arts-reinforcing high school and studies of Creative Communication with additional competencies acquired in the field of Theatre in birth country, Lithuania, she also studied in the Academy of Dramatic Art in Croatia and Lisbon Theatre and Film School in Portugal. Her doctoral research (2021-2026) was affiliated with Vittorio Gallese’s Lab of Social Cognitive Neuroscience (Italy) and awarded a grant by the Foundation for Science And Technology (Portugal). Her artistic trajectory, swirling between performance, installation and audiovisual practice, is in the emergence of itself.
