Lo no manifestado attempts to create an experience close to a ritual/rave devoid of any kind of culture, form or definition prior to this very movement and which finds its only meaning in the place in which it is carried out or demonstrated. The capacity of that “sense of movement” is constructed through the conjunction of body-sound elements interacting and mutually affecting each other and performing different strategies to generate states of consciousness far from evasion. What is generated and how it is produced is in constant transformation, leaving to the field of perception its ability to create associations or meanings.
Creator, performer and pedagogue. I trained in dance, music and martial arts. I have been giving dance classes for more than twenty years and collaborating on various educational projects like “Gorputzaldiak” with the Artaziak cooperative, "Zubiak eraikiz", together with the UPV-EHU and the "Tabakalera" international centre for contemporary culture, as well as "Dance2gether" and "Fundacio?n San Sebastia?n Capital Europea 2016".
My interest in African culture led me to the continent in order to practice to dance with dancers from the national Ballet of Guinea-Conakry. I am a choreographer, dancer and percussionist in different companies and projects. Amongst those, I would highlight: "Les Petits" under the direction of the Djembefola from the National Ballet of Ivory Coast, Kassoum Sanogo.
My training has also taken place in different places in Spain which have enriched and continue to enrich my commitment to the stage, allowing me to explore and search for the movement arts: Carmen Senra (Madrid), Conde Duque (Madrid), Arteleku (San Sebastia?n) and Dantzagunea, a space of the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa, Errenteria and Azala espacio de creacio?n (A?lava).
As a creator, I have worked on the pieces "Desestructurar", presented at Kutxa Hirian, and "Beltza", premiered at the "DanZ" festival in Pamplona, with the support of Dantzagunea. As a performer, I have collaborated with Jesu?s Rubio Gamo, Antonella De Ascensi, Ci?a Ertza de Asier Zabaleta, Alba Lorca and Sofie Dubs. With the latter, we developed a research project over several years around the notion of “Bodily Limits”, which we explored at four levels: the physical, psychological, social and relational. Different formats of this empirical research were produced: performance, courses/workshops, videos and exchanges with other artists. This experience allowed me to anchor my perspective on research, exploration and play in the performance arts.
Together with dance, I trained in neuro-linguistic programming and the enneagram with the Spanish Institute of NLP.
