Maria hosts workshops deviating post-modern dance legacies towards technologies for mutual empowerment, crossbreeding somatic practices and anti-oppression frameworks in support of a culture of connection. Maria performs in Meg Stuart’s with whom she collaborates since 2009. After collectiveLecken, an erogenous queer rave, she has been hosting Social Pleasure Center,a community space for somatic post-activism.
