Macarena Recuerda Shepherd

Macarena Recuerda Shepherd trained in performing arts, theatre, and dance. Although she holds a degree from the Institut del Teatre, her main interest lies in participatory projects aimed at creating new ways to engage with art. Since 2012, her research has focused on the role of the audience. She invents new spaces to play, create, and think in company. Her research unfolds along two lines: one focusing on stage language and the other on participatory and pedagogical spaces.

Latest project in residence

El laberinto se mueve (2026) is a dance piece aimed at children aged 0 to 5. It is a scenic and installative proposal where movement is not pre-choreographed, but emerges from play and the active participation of the little ones. The installation, built from recyclable materials, presents itself as a living space: a maze that transforms, breathes, and moves to the rhythm of those who inhabit it. Within it, the participants’ bodies generate trajectories, gestures, and physical sequences that become a spontaneous and collective dance.
