Tenerife-based dancer completes residency undertaken in La Salita

 

On Thursday (7th) at 7.30 p.m., the Auditorio de Tenerife proudly offers a sample of the work The Voices by the dancer Carlota Mantecón. The show culminates in a process of onstage creation and research that began on 30 October as part of her artistic residency. Entry is free until total capacity is reached.

"In The Voices, I engage with the vibration of the voice as a catalyst for movement. This experience relates to a tactile perception of contact, which leads to a unique form of knowledge and experience through touch." Mantecón explains.

Dancer and choreographer Carlota Mantecón is active in dance, choreography, and performativity. She performs onstage, although she also has experience in curation and teaching. She has performed in Norway, Slovenia, and Spain.

The dancer focuses on the relationship between matter, sound, and touch in her unique artistic endeavours. In her performances, she cultivates somatic or perceptive sensitivities that enable her to explore alternative modes of coexistence. Simultaneously, this process brings forth collective practices that defy the individualistic mindset beyond normativity.
