I was born in Punta Arenas, a city situated at the far edge of South America, where one can see, from the highest point, the Pacific and the Atlantic at the same time. In a parallel way, I see as one, gesture, dance, choreography.

Gesture is time in motion: as one sits on a shore of a beach and draws on the sand. Later that drawing will be washed by the sea in a metaphor for movement between the ephemeral and the unchanging. This is where my interest centers: in the constant interplay between ephemerality and stability, the unseen and the seen, between what is fixed and what shifts. My work has been shaped by displacement, a choreography of voyages and journeys, of constant movements where familiar shore is abandoned to reach a new shore and explore new movement and embodied knowledge.

As a choreographer and a dancer, I engage with experiences, concepts, and emotions articulated through the movements of the body and its gestures. In my choreographies, I draw out the dynamic force of gesture, through magnifying and presenting it as a movement of being in the singular moment. That moment necessarily possesses an ethical and political dimension.
