Litza created her first professional piece of choreography at the age of 16.

In 1996, she choreographed and performed Position Over Eyes, the first piece with her company Litzabixler Performance.

She created three more pieces for the company; So Low, Moving Stills, and Pistola Junta before closing the company to focus on her film work.

Litza worked with Ministry of Sound to create her own fitness DVD in 2006.

She also writes and paints and is a certified Creativity Coach.

Litza has written an original musical screenplay and is currently working on a Gothic horror novel and a children's adventure screenplay.

Other work includes NVA's Speed of Light; a large site-specific piece featuring choreographed runners in light suits that opened the Edinburgh Festival in 2012, as well as choreography for numerous adverts and music videos.
