Kurs with Dakota Comín


GENERATIVE TENSION OR DIVINE DESIRE / BODIES IN PARADISE

From physical and somatic tasks we will build together a body full of possibilities: a body that builds, collapses and transforms through decisions and trajectories. A cycle of attention and actions that happen together in continuous dialog with the environment. This device is a never-finished instrument: a multidirectional structure composed by interdependent parts, negotiating direction, weight, tension and attention.

In this practice I invite you to question the physical and sensitive hierarchies of the body, revealing its ultimate desire and drive. We will travel under the skin, we will share memories and create new ones. We will make poetry together, cooperate and work as interdependent bodies and universes. We will build together a space full of possibilities. 

This practice is the outcome of my personal and artistic research, influenced by somatic practices, fascial therapies, neuroscience and postnatural studies.

Dakota Comín

Dakota Comín (she/her) is a performer and dance maker based in Berlin. As a performer she collaborates with different choreographers and artists like Natalia Fernandes, Mårten Spånberg, Mey-ling Bisogno, Maite Larañeta, Marlon Barrios, Marcela Giesche or Sylvia Kruidenier. Since 2019 she is working on her own movement and choreographic practice, under the idea of PARADISE. She has taken her work to Prague, Nürnberg, Madrid, Berlin and Valencia so far. Her lates work is NICER, a group piece funded by Fonds Darstellende Künste of Germany. She is also part of the immediate poetry and dance group IN AN INSTANT. Her practice revolves between somatic practices, phenomenology, neuroscience and post-natural studies. Understanding the body as a device full of possibilities, she conceives choreography and movement as tools to create new worlds through the body, where the body can explore the infinite possibilities of imagination and worldmaking. Lately she has been specially busy with the idea of sustainable coexistence and the understanding of Nature in her personal and artistic practices.
