A solo that uses the performativity of competitive ballroom or sports ball to raise reflections on the figure of the dancer and the performer, and on dance itself.
Joaquin Collado considers how to alter the logic of this type of ball in order to bring out a multiple and indeterminate body and, therefore, one that is open and available to be imagined. This body moves between recognisable forms of ballroom dancing and unclassifiable, monstrous and poetic forms, in order to invoke the subversive power of the stereotypes that inhabit us.
Joaquín Collado is a choreographer, dancer and pedagogue, self-taught in sports ballroom dance, urban dance and contemporary dance. His work has been seen at the Grec Festival in Barcelona, the Dansa València festival, the Venice Biennial, the Temporada Alta festival in Girona and the Dansa Metropolitana festival. In addition to his own projects, he also collaborates with Ça marche, a theatre company in Barcelona, and directs Paisaje, a dance festival in his home town of Villamalea (Albacete).
