Carolina Marín (Chile)

Carolina Marín, Chilean, artist, dancer and specialist in combined artistic languages, based in Seattle. I studied dance formally in Chile and Argentina between 2006 and 2013. I am currently Axis Syllabus teacher candidate, developing my self-education and following the Axis Syllabus all over the world..

My work focuses on research and experimentation on the dynamic movement of humans and other species. Advancing towards new territories on the transdisciplinary, in collaboration to understand, expand and show these studies and experiences. Being available to listen and observe the biodiversity of the places I travel and inhabit is a complementary challenge to my line of work. It opens the possibility of reimagining and reconfiguring the idea of dynamic movement in relation to space and time. In this way my artistic work uses tools and concepts belonging to dance, science, architecture, sound, digital technologies, video and nature. I am currently working on the practice of walking as a basic action of locomotion, in relation to the landscape, the paths and the footprint, and how these are writing a story. In the same sense, I found the action of weaving and sewing as a way to connect, unify, build and make shapes on the way to building a story.
