Choreographer, dancer, and artist born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. With a background in tango, butoh, and contemporary dance, she explores embodied experience through movement, displacement, and encounters across cultural contexts. Her practice has developed into a transmedial methodology that moves across image, body, memory, and place, taking the form of choreographic works, installations, and participatory projects. Her work has been presented in contexts including Dance Box, Terpsichore Theater, Fukuoka Fringe Dance Festival, and the Toyooka Theater Festival Fringe Program.

Sharing together a time of expanded collage
In this research, collage is not limited to paper or images. It is a way of bringing together fragments collected through memories, walking, encounters, movement, objects, images and words. A creative dynamic, fluid like the ocean itself.
Come and share a memory, a photograph, an object, a word, a story, a question—or simply something you would like to share about the sea.
Together, we will arrange, connect and transform materials collected through the research in Takeno into a temporary expanded collage.
No previous experience is needed.
You can participate by bringing something, making something, talking, or simply observing.
Admission Fee
Free participation
Tsugihagi no Basho (Umi) is a site-responsive research project that collects, arranges, and relates fragments that rehearse narratives.
Through walking, choreographic explorations, observation, encounters, and the gathering of stories, images, and materials, the project traces multiple narratives of the sea, the coastal territory, and the people who inhabit it.
