Embodied Practices: Resonating Practice
Tatiana Mejía
Dance Workshop
Tatiana Mejía © Fritzi Schwarzbauer
A workshop shaped by sap: fluid, cyclical, unseen. Tatiana Mejía invites participants into a shared practice of movement, voice, and memory. Guided scores emerge from bodily sensation and imagination, blending Afro-Caribbean and contemporary dance with somatic practices and pedestrian movement. Through lament, loop and call and response, the voice becomes rhythm, vibration, trace. This is an invitation to curiosity, to engage movement and voice with awareness of sensation, physical memory, pleasure and pain. A space to move with the present, what flows, what resists, what re-forms, and to glimpse what the future could feel like.

Biographies
Tatiana Mejía is a dancer and choreographer from the Dominican Republic, living in Berlin since 2011. She began her dance journey in Santo Domingo, where she first developed her choreographic works. Her artistic practice interlaces afrodiasporic, contemporary and experimental dance with music through a decolonial lens. She approaches movement and sound as living archives of memory, resistance and transformation, where body, voice and media intertwine. By navigating embodied actions and confronting stereotypes and colonial narratives, her practice opens spaces for healing, reimagination and intersectional futures. She has collaborated with artists internationally, and her creations include Kiskeya, Gagá and Sway.
