About the workshop :

TECHNOCUMBIA is a dance practice inspired by the archive of the dance contest “Sábados Populares” in the ‘90s Bolivia and the current Andean cumbia videoclips. This practice combines movements of the High Energy and Euro-classics from the ‘80s, which migrated to South America with Andean Cumbia dances. 

The class begins with combinations of footwork that allow us to dialogue with the floor through repetition, combining Cumbia and Techno steps. This increases in intensity throughout the class, building stamina and body awareness. Ending with a small choreography made from the movement material.

Duration : 90 minutes

About Sharon Mercado Nogales

Sharon Mercado Nogales is a dancer/choreographer from the Bolivian Andes based in Berlin. She’s constantly seeking to provoke the current cultural spectrum through body and movement by working with the resignification of dance and music materials. In her work she incorporates autobiographical and contextual archives that go through an exercise of memory, by putting the knowledge of her ancestors and her current life experience as conditions to rethink and transform them. Creating spaces for dance and performance that could move bodies and feelings. In the last years, she developed the dance practice “Technocumbia” and currently she’s part of the collectives “cobracobra” and “Moviendo Territorios”.
