I am director, choreographer and presently doing a PhD in Dramaturgy for Circus, Scenic Space of arts hybridizations. Since 2000 my artistic work research movement and space dynamics in many forms in a transversal performing field. I research different transpositions between body language and the forces organizing space and rhythm of other art forms. In fact I have been developing a chapter about Acrobatics, “movement and evolution in contemporary performing arts” which reveals how some fundamentals in the acrobatic practice can be functionalized at the service of a dramatic writing, modeling dance and contemporary circus through each other.

​

Besides an analytical approach towards the history of performative practice and its dramaturgy, I propose a physical practice approaching scenic arts as an exercise of risk through improvisation and presence. These methods I continuously expand by incorporating performers of different backgrounds that are prepared to react, as in circus, to a constantly shaping 360° space while pushing their physical limits and performance vocabulary.

After working as a performer for dance, circus and theatre companies such as Royal de Luxe, my work experience has constantly been developing throughout international residencies in collaborations with different multidisciplinary artists such as, Cie Willy Dorner, Armando Meniccaci, David Zambrano, Juha Marshalo, German Jauregui , Lenka Vagnerova, DOT 504, Tanek Praha, Circo Del Mundo, Diminuto Circus, National Ballet of Chile and National Ballet Ecuador amongst others.

I constantly develop theory and practical research workshops focusing on movement techniques, improvisation and creation, using a multidimensional and trans disciplinary methodology. This had lead to present my work in form lecturers, workshops and seminars in: DOCH, School of Dance and Circus-Uniarts Stokholme / Munster University, Germany / Ecole National des Arts Dramatiques, Montpellier / Centre des Arts de Cirque Balthazar, Montpellier / Central de Circ, Barcelona / Concordia University, Montreal, Universidad de Chile / Universidad Central de Ecuador / Circo del Mundo Chile, amongst others

 

My professional career starts to unfold in 2000, after completing a three year program in design and architecture in a university known for its bauhaus orientated methodology. The outcome was an increasing interest in the constant relation between the body (human, object) and space, which I wanted to expand in an art form that values in different levels this tangibility and contrast between structure, form, function and fluidity in a performative behavior, that could be social models or theatrical frames. this lead me to my studies at the National School of Circus in Rio de Janeiro and shortly after to become a teacher of the Circo del Mundo, a social circus project of Cirque du Soleil back in Chile. Since then I have been working as a choreographer, director and performer, developing projects with new technologies and circus. In 2004, in collaboration with Diminuto Circus, I created the circus company and social project Circulo which created the first circus school in Ecuator in 2007.

 

After moving to Paris to continue my education at LEM (Laboratory of movement studies) in 2009, I had the opportunity to work internationally as a mentor, professor and director with companies, artists and institutions such as, Jardin d’Europe in Prague with Opéra Métro. In 2010 I was invited to create a piece for Tanek Praha danse festival in collaboration with DOT 504. Between 2012 and 2013 I won a grant by platform M4m and Tanek Praha to create RGB, which premiered in April, 2013 in Tchèque Platform of contemporary danse. My previous projects were selected to represent South americas young telents in the 5th Festival TransAmériques 2011 in Montreal. 2014 marked a highlight in my early career, when I was invited by the Balet National De Chile to create a new work.
