SOMATIC BOOTY SHAKING
A one-time accreditation is required for participation in the professional training. The Accreditation allows you to purchase tickets for the professional training. Click here for the conditions of participation.
Somatic Booty Shaking invites movers to negotiate with weight, release tensions, strengthen their core, and find liveliness in their dance. This training understands the pelvis as the moving motor of our bodies. It negates straight lines and stiff verticality to transform them into curves and animalistic bodies. Revolt against the colonised body and challenge your physicality with playfulness by working with rhythm, somatic practices, body and space awareness, performativity, pleasure, and joy.

Maria Mercedes Flores Mujica
is a Venezuelan dancer and choreographer living in Cologne. Before moving to Cologne to study dance at the University of Music and Dance, she studied modern languages and translation at the Universidad de Los Andes in Venezuela. Since 2018 she has been creating her own work in collaboration with various and in 2024 she received the NRW KulturSekretariat Tanzrecherche scholarship. Her choreographies are based on the complexity of rhythm and its perception, and on knowledges of folk and contemporary dance, celebration, and rituals.
For her research at K3 she will be engage in an exploration of Joropo, a couple dance where gender roles are binary, and inspired by the syncretism of Venezuelan spiritism. This dance gives voice and volume to unheard cosmologies, voices silenced due to patriarchal-colonialist developments. Creating a celebratory, ritualistic and interactive environment, Maria seeks, together with the audience, to celebrate, reconnect and heal the relationship with the female voice muffled over time.
