Olga Mesa is a dancer, choreographer, and visual artist based in Strasbourg, France. Her work is notable for its innovative merging of audiovisual work with live dance performance. Originally from Spain, Olga Mesa presented her first solo dance pieces in New York from 1989-1991.

She attended the Merce Cunningham School and went on to collaborate with Andrea Lerner and perform with John Jasperse.
