Irene Ruiz Dance
For Irene Ruiz, dance is an open universe where the need to trace new paths in the creative field becomes fundamental. Through the curious personality and multidisciplinary profile that characterizes this dancer and choreographer, Irene is able to establish dialogues between the cultural roots of Spanish dance and Flamenco, and the most avant-garde experimentation of these folkloric forms within Contemporary Dance.
La danza es para Irene Ruiz un universo abierto donde la necesidad de trazar nuevos caminos en el terreno creativo se convierte en algo fundamental. A través de la personalidad curiosa y el carácter multidisciplinar que tanto caracteriza a esta bailarina y coreógrafa, Irene establece diálogos entre la raiz cultural de la Danza Española y el Flamenco, con la experimentación más vanguardista de estos lenguajes folkloricos dentro de la Danza Contemporánea actual. |
To dance is to inhabit the body with the heart and the mind" - Cesc Gelabert
Irene is currently immersed in the development of her choreographic language, submerging herself in various creative processes with numerous artists and collaborators who belong to the world of contemporary art (performing as well as visual art and literature).
Her work, based on exploration, aims at the investigation of transdisciplinary languages through the use of contemporary dance techniques. Reflecting on poetic, rhythmic, and aesthetic dimensions plays a very active role in her creative practice. Recognizing and nourishing the socio-political and pedagogical impact of dance runs throughout the artistic project of Irene Ruiz, who believes in the benefits of dance in the classrooms, theaters and also on the streets.
