Rima Pipoyan

During the period of her study at the institute (2005–2010) Pipoyan was cooperating with people from different spheres, with different backgrounds: actors, dancers, filmmakers or singers, she began writing her own plays, which were successful enough to be performed on big stages of international festivals.

[4] Being a student Pipoyan also started learning martial arts, in particular: Chinese wushu which would have impact on her choreographic style in the future[1] In 2007 she staged her first full-length modern ballet performance "That's by falling that we rise".

During the 3 seasons of the show program which was an Armenian version of American TV series, Pipoyan has created more than 30 dance sequences as a choreographer.

2012–2019 she taught dance and curated the course of Choreography Directing at her Alma mater-Yerevan State Institute of Theatre and Cinematography.

[8][9] From 2018 she has been a lecturer of Modern Dance at the Chair of Choreographic Pedagogy at the Armenian State Pedagogical University.

In the frame of the festival Pipoyan has created "La Vita Nuova" modern dance performance based on Variations on Dante Alighieri's "New Life" and on the music by Philip Glass.

In 2015 with the support of the South Caucasus Contemporary Dance and Experimental Art Festival and with The Ministry of Culture of Armenia Pipoyan staged a repertory modern ballet performance "Sinful passions" at Armenian National Academic Theatre of Opera and Ballet.

In 2016–2017 Pipoyan was a fellowship holder as a choreographer at the Academy of Arts in Berlin (German: Akademie der Künste).

Her dance in "Woman before decision making" was described as consistent and fine-tuned; so different and so unlike the techniques realized by everyone in the world.

Her energy and strength...[37] In 2019 Pipoyan was among three young choreographers who was invited to Venice Biennale to stage a dance performance with 7 professional dancers from around the world.

In 2020, under the leadership of Rima Pipoyan, the Modern Dance department has been opened at the Yerevan State Choreographic College.

The main idea of realization of the project was to create long-life and reliable cultural partnership between Armenia and Ukraine.
