Expressive Body // Alika

  • ZeoT Zürich Lagerstrasse 107 Zürich 8004 (map)

Alika is an Andalusian dancer and choreographer, born in Jaén, with a degree in Teaching, specialising in Physical Education from the University of Jaén. She completed her academic studies with a University Expert in Didactics of Corporal Expression from the Rey Juan Carlos University in Madrid and a Masters in Innovation and Cultural Management from the Complutense University of Madrid.

Since 2003 he has founded his own school, combining artistic practice with teaching, management, mediation and cultural production.

Since 2004 she has created and directed the Bellysurdance Festival of dance and scenic creation, a pioneer in Spain and internationally recognised for its work in the innovation of Oriental Dance.

Alika's language focuses on movement and its expression, her inspiration comes from the nature of the inner female body and her research.

She is currently working on processes that cross dance in exploration and synergy with other arts such as painting, poetry and music, collage, sculpture and social innovation projects using dance and scenic creation as tools and powers for the empowerment of women at risk of social exclusion in collaboration with the Department of Equality and the Social Affairs Board of Jaén.

Expressive Body

In this workshop, I propose to experiment with Choreography as a field of movement research.

Presence / Time / Space / Energy.

We will focus on the understanding of the body in dialogue with the internal/external for the choreographic composition rather than on the final result.
