Circus artist (Rogelio Rivel Circus School – 2016) and social teacher (University of Barcelona – 2013) by training, and by untraining, all the rest: investigator of the performative action and movement, driving force behind pedagogic projects with art as a transversal pivot, trainer, creator and highly interested in interdisciplinarity.

She studies with professors like: Mal Pelo, Hamza Benlabied, Andrés Corchero, Alexander Gavrilov and Semolina Tomic, amongst others.  In 2016 she cofounds the Cia. Capes (CAT) company, a hand-to-hand duo. In 2018 she becomes a co-founder and artist of the Ino Kollektiv (FR) female hand-to-hand collective, with which she currently works. Together with this collective, she forms part of a new circus, song and psychology project: Ekco (MX-IT-FR-ES) and another spontaneous circus and improv project about acrobalance: Improportes (FR-ES), together with another company: Kolektivo Konika. In 2022 she commences the personal research for the Cavitat f project.

Cavitat f.

Each body is a synthesis of his own history. Memory can be explicit when we can reasonably explain or describe a concrete experience, or implicit when the body reacts to experiences that cannot be processed by the mind. “Cavitat f.” is an artistic project that investigates the materialization of memory in the body, or in other words; embodied memories: everything that is recorded on the body as a movement, gesture, sound or posture in memory (mostly unconscious) of a concrete experience. The idea is to facilitate a work that puts the body in relation to the codification of these memories, to understand the forms and their learning processes, to see which ones and why they have been forgotten and if it is necessary to make them visible and perhaps resignify them. The project wants to observe how the context affects all this and also the relationship between two or more bodies and think how to generate collective body memories.
