The project EL CUERPO ES PRESENTE focuses on collecting various methodologies around the language of improvisation. It is initially presented in book and audiovisual series format, as the first material archive of this type in southern territories, featuring voices of dance, theater, and performance makers, in order to highlight the work and power that reside in improvisation.
The massive experience El cuerpo es presente is a space where the possibility of sharing some of the project's methodological research premises with a large audience is enabled, whether they are professionals, amateurs, children, or the elderly.
Together with the project’s DJ, a space for play, encounter, and development around the present state and the unfolding of the body into movement is established.

“The bravery, the majesty, the pride The atrocious, the deplorable, the mutilated The duality, the symbol Did anyone ask the bull? In agony, it is revealed”
A solo performance that narrates the birth, life, and demise of a beast condemned to veneration and brutality.
Each of my halves could not exist without the other. Can one love the open air without hating the cage? Live without dying, be born without killing? In my chest, a bullring, freedom and fear fight.

BARQUITOS DE PAPEL is a theatrical work that explores paths of re-signification, in that confrontation we have from the vital aspect and that other substance of life, which is human finitude. It delves into the possibilities of unity and internal reconciliation with our own history, alongside those who have transcended to other planes of existence.
The piece is built from a sound and physical universe, traveling between personal and family texts and images, establishing a dialogue where (as with memory and its poetry) the gesture emerges in the space through connections, rituals of reunion, and celebrations.

Previous Body
On this occasion, the project is presented in the format of a performance, bringing to the stage a research process on improvisation in dance—primarily scenic and contemporary dance—as a language. In general terms, the staging proposes the unfolding of a live device that will develop in real-time, giving rise to a performative becoming that is primarily based on play and chance; developing practices that also offer an experience for and with the audience.
The choreographic universe focuses on two areas of work and creation. On the one hand, there is the device, which takes on a format centered around dance creations and relates to "Writing in the present." On the other hand, the theme to be developed, serving as a generator of choreographic material, relates to the maternal female lineage of the performers and the work team. This material highlights themes that are fundamental to the project, such as construction from the territory (in terms of languages, techniques, and poetics), the female body, community feminisms, trauma on our bodies, class differences, etc.

This work is the result of an investigative process that integrates levels and elements, showing how different facets can coexist and manifest in a single individual, reflecting the complexity and richness of the human experience.
Each movement is a testament to the body's ability to tell complex stories, merging strength and delicacy, chaos and harmony. "Temperamental" invites the spectator to reflect on the multiplicity of their own identities, the complexities of human personality, and how these can be expressed in an emotional journey.
