Amaranta Velarde

Amaranta Velarde is a choreographer, dancer, and pedagogue. In her practice, she explores the friction between the artificial and representational and the organic and impulsive. Graduated in 2004 from CODARTS, Rotterdam, she has worked in the Netherlands with Bruno Listopad on numerous productions presented at festivals such as Spring Festival and Something Raw. In 2011, she moved to Barcelona, where she created her pieces Lo Natural (2012), Hacia una estética de la buena voluntad (2013), Mix-en-Scene (2015), Apariciones sonoras (2019), and Desbordes (2022), presented in venues such as Festival Grec, Mercat de les Flors, Museo Reina Sofía, and the Brigittines Theatre in Brussels. In parallel, she collaborates with artists such as Cris Blanco, Ola Maciejewska, and El Conde de Torrefiel, and teaches at the Barcelona Higher Conservatory of Dance.
