Catalina Insignares

Catalina Insignares is a Colombian choreographer based in Brussels. She’s interested in how to use the sensorial and fictional means of the body and touch to develop ways to communicate with the invisible. Her practice includes, among others, a duet danced with a participant over a few weeks (us as a useless duet, 2015), a night reading addressed to sleeping bodies (useless land, 2017), and sensory practices that listen to the connections we have with the dead (landscapes of the dead, 2019; to know the vultures so well, 2022). She works through collaboration and long-term associations for choreography, dramaturgy, teaching and performance.

Carolina and Catalina met in 2014, and since then, they have been collaborating and maintaining a very close complicity in different ways of working together.
