Workshop: ‘PUKLLAY – A Space for Play, Transformation and Creation’ with Ximena Ameri

By engaging with Andean festive practices, you will explore new relationships between the body, memory, territory and imagination. The workshop will draw on bodily memories and objects, as well as elements from physical theatre, improvisation and choreography.

You will playfully expand the possibilities of stage presence, explore compositional tools from decolonial perspectives and give rise to new stage narratives.

The aim is not to reproduce folkloric forms or re-enact traditions, but to collectively explore the physical principles underpinning them.

Open to dancers, actresses, performers, body researchers and stage artists of all levels.

The workshop is organised by the German-Peruvian artists’ collective CHICHA EXPRESS as part of the ‘FriendsEvents’ series, in collaboration with CORDILLERA.

XIMENA AMERI is a multidisciplinary performance artist whose work spans dance theatre, performance and body-based artistic research. Her artistic practice explores migration, identity and the body as an archive of memory.

For almost two decades, she has been developing her international practice between Europe and Latin America, shaped by collaborations with renowned artists and groups such as Yuyachkani, Íntegro, Alfredo Zinola and Samir Akika, and by her training at the Folkwang University of the Arts, the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, the Jaques-Dalcroze Institute in Brussels, and the Ruhr University Bochum.
