Devika Chotoe (1992) (she/her) is a theatre maker, playwright, poet and film journalist. Her trajectory across different disciplines (dance, spoken word, research, visual arts, theatre and film) resulted in a hybrid practice where she fully embraces the crosspollination of different disciplines within her artistic practice.

Making heartfelt work is her biggest aim. Next to that, Chotoe oftentimes wonders how art can contribute to societal change and to the bridging of different worldviews. Since the personal is always political, working with autofiction and with cultural references that relate to her Indo-Surinamese and queer identity, is a way for Chotoe to question, subvert and contribute to the changing of dominant paradigms.

Chotoe graduated from the School for New Dance Development (AHK) in 2022. In her free time, she is secretly manifesting her first book deal for her poetry collection.
