Yolanda Morales

MOVING IMAGINATIVE BODIES

Together with an international group of dancers, Yolanda Morales offers open, interactive workshops as part of the K3 residency. Together they develop a repertoire of movement that serves as a collective memory in the form of dance and pays tribute to natural ecosystems. Yolanda Morales pursues practices that allow one to discover oneself as a whole, as a living diversity, as a living ecosystem. The artistic goal is to create fluid, organic monuments that evoke selected landscapes.

Yolanda Morales

(Hamburg), born in Chiapas Mexico, is a choreographer, dancer and performer. She trained in dance in Mexico and completed a Master's degree in Performance Studies in Hamburg. Her projects in Hamburg have been developed with K3, Lichthof Theater and MARKK - Museum am Rothenbaum, among others. In her choreographic works she deals with imaginative bodies in utopian and dystopian spaces that are interwoven with current political and social realities. Her productions have been invited to HundertPro Festival at Ringlokschuppen Ruhr, OUTNOW! Bremen, EPICENTRO in Oaxaca (Mexico), IAPAR Festival in India and Hauptsache Frei in Hamburg.
Inspired by the worldview of the Amerindian peoples in relation to nature Yolanda will research how to remember still existing landscapes that are in danger of extinction. She will explore and celebrate a North German moorland landscape, an ecosystem threatened by destruction. There she remembers herself as a being with multiple subjectivities, able to relate with other elements on nature.
