ARTISTIC STATEMENT 

My choreographic practice emerges at the intersection of Dance, Vocal Work, Presence, Space, and Rractices rooted in colonized and precarious contexts of South America (Cumbia, Farmer Calls, Reggaeton, Shellfishing, Native forest restoration.


I am interested in reinforcing and insisting on processes of decolonization through contemporary choreography.

In my work, I collaborate with dancers, dramaturgs, musicians, composers, set designers, costume designers, and lighting designers, understanding these collaborations in a horizontal way: inviting collective reflection, while also engaging in individual dialogues with each discipline throughout these processes of choreographic creation/discovery and research.

My objective is to facilitate physical experiences for diverse audiences through an approach that engages the visual, sonic, and spatial. I am interested in how the dramaturgy of choreography resembles the diversity and complexity of a natural landscape, evoking memories and temporal dynamics that collaborate, cooperate, and contradict one another. Through this, I understand contemporary choreography as a sensitive science that seeks to engage in practical dialogue. These choreographies may be connected to or staged in theaters, as well as in rural and urban natural spaces.

I relate to themes such as decolonization, the Global South, cumbia, cattle-calling songs, HIV, homosexuality, vulnerability, class struggle, illness, social justice, ecology, and migration.

After seven years of independently producing multidisciplinary works in Chile, I am currently based in Berlin, seeking to give voice and body to a working middle class of sons and daughters of single mothers without social rights. Here, I aim to evoke the ancestry of a class that today represents the continuity of the processes of colonization and exploitation in the Latin American Global South.
