Letter Archives to Body Politics A collective writing and accumulation of letters as a reflective response to the theme. By addressing the letters to ‘Dear body politics’ ,we sought to personalize the abstract, to bring the distant closer, and to question the systems that shape and claim ownership over our bodies. Through this approach ‘body politics’ became a lived and felt inquiry rather than a concept itself. A written, shared, and archived body held within a community of people

Transfixation / Body Image An exploration of the body as a site of shadow, history, and resistance. This project reflects on how bodies carry untold stories, hidden symbols, and layers of meaning that cannot always be spoken. By confronting discomfort, destabilizing fixed narratives, and questioning how the body is perceived and constructed, the work opens space for new interpretations, allowing the body to rewrite its own destiny.

Negative Destinies A poetic refusal of right and wrong, embracing error, shadow, and imperfection as creative forces. This project uses mistakes as spells, disruptions, and acts of empowerment, dismantling order and allowing chaos, magic, and uncertainty to shape new possibilities. By choosing what is messy and unexpected, the work “dirties” the beautiful and liberates imagination.

Diagram / mapping / process A hand-drawn map created during studio research, tracing questions of identity, community, power, and care. Lines, arrows, and symbols connect the body to ideas of protection, confusion, responsibility, and belonging. The image functions as a thinking tool, a visual score where intuition, uncertainty, and reflection coexist, leaving visible traces of collective and individual inquiry.

Stuck In Motion. “Time” can become subjectively distorted. During a PTSD episode, the brain may have difficulty distinguishing between past, present, and future experiences. As a result, the individual can become trapped in an emotional state that manifests in visceral, physiological responses.

Technologies of the Sky The inspiration comes from the living world. Observing how light behaves as a living presence, shifting, responding, and existing in relation to its environment. Rather than copying natural phenomena, the work allows these qualities to inform timing, atmosphere, and technical decisions.

Mapping Something tries to show us where we are and where we might go, drawing lines that feel like guidance and meanings that may or may not be true. Sometimes it looks certain, sometimes it feels like a guess, and often it’s both at once. We follow signs that could be instructions, or maybe just possibilities, and somewhere between clarity and guessing, we keep finding ways

Dance as a shared practice-Back to community With this project, many of us, get back the chance to comunicate sharing ideas, methods, backgrounds, experiences... And that is what we enjoy os being artists.

Wasting VS saving time We went back into a conversation we had around this props/set up tier. The time you take untieing a knot... Is it a wasted time? Or is just capitalism what has told history that, in order to "advance" and "make progress" is better cut knots and "save" time. What experience leaves esch action into my body. The proposal is to use this action as a wisdom action in the group.

The same road, different time Part of the day I spend on the road, which is often exactly the same road as yesterday, the day before, and a year ago. Yet the feelings about the length of this road always change. Sometimes it drags on for hours, sometimes it feels like a moment, even though according to the clock it always remains the same duration. What happens to us in that stretch between point A and point B? While being on the road, in transport, we stand together in order to move forward. We stand, but we are faster than those who walk. What is time on the road?

Affecting and being affected This is the live
sound generated by the piece ‘La velocidad de las cosas’ performed and created by Mónica García, and premiered in 2011. In the piece, the movement of the body in contact with a metal surface, acting as 6-square-meter floor and equipped with microphones, generated a sound environment that in turn affected the movement. The body affected and was affected in a continuum that, in turn, generated a shared present with the audience.

Decision making highlights Two collective highlights of my Tier2. An exercise in which repetition, listening and syncronization plays an important part an through which I experienced a different method of being alone but staying in the collective. And a workshop we held for a group of women over 65 based on the tasks we experimented with this week.
