Beatriz Herrera Corado

Beatriz Herrera Corado is a researcher from Guatemala City, whose work intertwines different movement techniques, explorations and academic research framed in ethnomusicology. She is trained in ballet, modern dance, contemporary dance, contact improvisation, afro-latin social dances, and West African dance. In 2016, she traveled to Norway to study the MA program Choreomundus - International Masters in Dance Knowledge Practice and Heritage. In Guatemala, Beatriz worked as a curator of contemporary dance and as an anthropologist doing fieldwork in communities about traditional games. This twofold experience of wide different contexts has multiplied her understanding of what dance can be and how it can be realised. For her contemporary dance offers the possibility to inquire and explore movement boundaries.
