PERFORMANCES INSPIRED BY TANGO


I am Contemporary dancer. Contemporary dance means to me a way of processing my experience as a human being. In each creative process I confront my self with fears, desires, dreams, interrogates, being and all those the starting point to create a performance.

When I create a new piece I aim to find its own movement vocabulary, exploring how to use the body, the space, the time, the energy. I contract a character who relates to the audience in a specific way each time.

When I perform "traditional" tango, which is a specific dance style with with quite close codes conformed by steps, figures, gender roles, use of the music. As a dancer with a background in Contemporary Dance I try to find my own way of performing tango, even when is "traditional" tango, I am still a Contemporary dancer. It becomes a challenge, learning process, an enriching experience. This is why I choose to perform tango, and why I allow tango influence my artistic work as a choreographer and performer in Contemporary dance.
