ARTISTIC STATEMENT
My choreographic practice evolves by evoking from the moving body, dance, the use of voice, and the presence that emerges within space. I insist on evoking precarious sociopolitical contexts and those exploited by contemporary biopolitics.
In my work, I collaborate with dancers, dramaturgs, musicians, composers, scenographers, costume and lighting designers, understanding these collaborations in a horizontal way—inviting collective reflection, but also engaging in individual dialogues with each expertise and actor involved in these processes of choreographic creation and research.
My aim is to propose and invite diverse audiences to reflect through an aesthetic experience that seeks not only to be visual, but also sonic and spatial. I focus on how the dramaturgy of a choreography resembles the diversity and complexity of a natural landscape, evoking memories and temporal dynamics that collaborate, cooperate, and contradict each other, in order to understand contemporary choreography as a sensitive science that seeks to dialogue with myself and my team not only on a mental level, but also spiritually and energetically.
I am interested in presenting my work in theaters, but I am also passionate about natural and urban landscapes, where we can engage with space and with architectural elements, which end up taking on a presence and becoming part of the dance—or rather, they offer us a presence and allow us to become part of a dance.
I am interested in decolonization, the Global South, cumbia, herding cries, HIV, homosexuality, vulnerability, class struggle, illness, social justice, ecology, and migration.
After ten years of independently producing multidisciplinary works in Chile, I am now based in Berlin, seeking to give voice and body to a working middle class of children of single mothers without social rights. Here, I aim to evoke the ancestry of a class that today represents the decline of the processes of colonization and exploitation of the Latin American Global South.
