LA ESCENA INTERIOR

An artist shares her personal process through which she creates a dance solo. By exploring her values and techniques, she also reveals how the most intimate chapters of her life experiences have left an indelible mark in her work. Along a deep, heartfelt journey, she will also invite each one of us to find an expression that may allow us to explore and reveal our own inner worlds.

Andrea Arobba / Director Montevideo, 1969 Choreographer, dancer, director, curator and instructor. She has devoted the most part of her career to developing of projects and spaces aimed at increasing the visibility of dance, both on stage and in social interactions, training and community building. After completing her training in classical ballet, she joined for many years the Contradanza company, a group recognized as a foundational reference in the Uruguayan dance scene. She then embarked on a very fertile career as a soloist and director, that has led her to present stage projects of very different scales and formats in Montevideo, New York, Madrid, Sao Paulo, Düsseldorf, Barcelona and Venice. In recent years, some of her performing projects have been strongly linked to science, a shift related to her status as co-director of the GEN Center for Arts and Sciences: the project “Natural History of Beauty” (2013), takes biological concepts as a departure point; then Big Bang (2017), does the same with themes from physics and cosmology, and Sinapsis (2019) is an artistic interpretation of themes from neuroscience.
