CAPSULES
Refresh – Reset / Here and Everywhere
Capsule 1: Refresh – Reset
Physical exploration based on Contact Improvisation, focused on questioning and testing our bodily tools. Through play with disorientation, chaos, and confusion, we seek to reset familiar patterns to open space for a fresher, more available, and adaptable body.
Capsule 2: Here and Everywhere
Training that invites you to develop a body and attention capable of expanding in multiple directions. We will explore how to move and respond from anywhere and at any time, while maintaining presence and connection with the here and now.
ABOUT ME
I am a dancer, mover, and explorer of movement as a creative process. I am deeply curious about my own body and the bodies of others dancing, together, or alone. I experience dance as an act of presence and attention, where I receive information from myself, from others, and from the environment. With these, I can play, compose, create, and feel great joy.
My work focuses on the mechanics of bodies on Earth and how they affect us. When I am in contact with others, with the space, I allow myself to be affected as well. The space where dance lives, which is full of information, is my place to practice presence and attention.
In classes, I try to open up possibilities for practitioners/dancers to find their own organic, biological, and natural paths—those that the body possesses and that we so often forget. I trust in the beauty and natural organization of the body and seek its wise paths.
My work involves moving, teaching, facilitating labs, performing, organizing CI events, and creating pieces.
I have taught in several countries across Latin America, North America, and Europe, where I continue to research and collaborate with different groups of artists.
For 18 years, I have been researching the intersection between Contact Improvisation and Argentine Tango, two dances I deeply love. In this research, I have learned a lot about space and compositional musicality in the body. I am fascinated by understanding the depths of these two techniques and seeing how they can meet and diverge during a creative and compositional process.
I participate in the organization of various events, trying to create thoughtful containers where we can study and practice Contact Improvisation and the techniques that inform it (ItalyContactFest, IMMERSIONES – Contact Improvisation Festival).
