Currently working on:
In January 2024 I did a residency in Chile. In Valparaiso I shared a workshop and made a presentation of synchronization practices in co-production with Sala Santo Domingo. I also did a short experimental residency with Chilean artist and dancer Valeska Minchel. I am also working with Methods to Survive, the collective I have with Lara Tummma. We will be working on subtle transmissions (new project) at NAIRS, Zurich, in September and October and at WPZimmer, Belgium, in November 2024.
Quick Facts:
I understand artistic work as a constant research and that is how I approach all the projects I have worked on as a dancer, performer and director. One of the topics that crosses my practice is to rehearse systems of movements to expand their magnetic and perceptive field; for this, an intuitive use of writing, voice, sound and image. Assembling surfaces to make poetry, as an ecosystem of frictions between fantasies and questions.
I studied at Arte XXI, Contemporary Dance School and C.I.A, Center for Artistic Research. I was a scholarship holder at the Action Lab at CTBA 2019. I received the Danceweb scholarship with the mentorship of Meg Stuart and Floretina Holzinger (Impulstanz-Austria) 2018. I work since 2010 for different choreographers: Diana Szeinblum, Ivan Haidar, Florencia Vecino, Laura Peña, Ximena Romero, Yanina Rodolico. Since 2017, I work with Lara Ferrari in the collective Methods to Survive, making practices around dance, writing and performance. Currently, we are making the Synchronization Practices Notebook as a way to collectivize and share the practice we invent while living at a distance.
Three relevant works from the last 5 years of artistic practice:
- Obra del Demonio, TNA, by Diana Szeinblum
- The Weight of time, CCK-2021, Andreani Foundation-2023
