Biography
Her work is focused on the practice of dance and videodance, understood in a wide sense and with the objective of talking about the body in all its dimensions. Recently, she has experimented with movement, videocameras, image and, later, sound. Two main themes in the course of her trajectory are the exploration of space, creating choreographies in non-conventional spaces, and the study of proprioception, which is the self-reflexive sensation of the body.
Currently, she questions on the one hand the intentionality of that body presented on stage and on the other the meaning of the concept of choreography. How do you present the body to the audience? In which spatial and temporal context? Which is the role of spectator nowadays? And how can you translate thoughts (political, social and philosophical ideas) into movement? Thinking the body and letting the body think by itself complement each other and add new elements to dance.
As a consequence, her research is directed towards exhibiting a political body, that is, liberated of techniques, not only dance techniques, but also the social ones. The purpose is re-codifying the own language and making a different use of the body in order to confer it a political status: the body is impregnated with discipline but it can also oppose it by being presented outside established stereotypes. It doesn’t consist of appearing, but of making; not dancing, but moving; not pretending, but feeling; not believing, but thinking; not acting, but being.
