Biography

Synopsis

Spanish dance artist and choreographer based in London. Classically trained in ballet, flamenco and Spanish folk dance at the Real Conservatorio Profesional de Danza in Madrid and with María de Ávila, she went on to a BA and PgDip in Contemporary Dance at London Contemporary Dance School and an MA at Trinity Laban. She has performed at Tate Modern, Barbican Art Gallery and Sadler's Wells, and her practice spans choreography, painting, video and installation — often built for non-dancers and inconvenient spaces.

Choreography for non-dancers and inconvenient spaces.

If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.

— Vincent van Gogh
