Consuelo Pacheco

I am interested in the biological-cultural dimension within the practice of dance, and the possibility of opening new perceptions and questions about ways of feeling and thinking about embodiment. My experience in Dance begins in early childhood and for the last fifteen years I have been investigating the relationship between Movement, Writing, Nature and Somatic Practices.
I am dedicated to study and explore dispositives/scores that develop a deep awareness of presence in improvisation and performance. The practices that guide me in this quest are Contact Improvisation, Tuning Scores and Underscore.
I am interested in the study between Dance and somatic, to understand how the psychophysical awareness/organization influences the act of dancing, through the study of the Alexander Technique and Body-Mind Centering®.
Since 2020 I am based in Italy and coordinate with Leonardo Lambruschini, the Dance area at Spazio Seme - International Arts Center in Arezzo, Tuscany. I organize laboratories and residencies of Contact improvisation and Performance. During 2024 I organized the annual program “Moving Presence” Practice and Research of Body-Mind Centering® with Nina Wehnert in Italy and I am the creator of the Movement Studies and Somatic Research Program “Natura Tactus”.
