Carolina Marín (Chile)
Carolina Marín, Chilean, artist, dancer and specialist in combined artistic languages, based in New York City. I formally studied dance in Chile and Argentina between 2006 and 2013. I am an Axis Syllabus teacher candidate and Contact Improvisation dancer, continually developing my self-education and following Axis Syllabus and Contact Improvisation around the world.
My work focuses on research and experimentation on the dynamic movement of humans and other species. Advancing towards new territories in the transdisciplinary and collective sphere has been a way of understanding and expanding these studies and experiences, which propose to maintain ourselves in relation to the biodiversity of the environment and the interspecies relationship, as a sustainable path to keep us moving and continue existing on planet Earth.
In this way my artistic work uses tools and concepts belonging to dance, science, architecture, sound, digital technologies, video and nature.
I have been 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 write 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 constructing a story. I am currently researching how to develop biomaterials to continue weaving relationships.
