On the last weekend in October, artist Maque Pereyra invites you to the embodied practice “Yoggaton: Transformative Pleasure” at Radialsystem. Yoggaton is an intersectional movement practice developed by Bolivian artist Maque Pereyra since 2016. Combining yoga asana, pelvic dances and reggaeton music, it understands the body, and specially the pelvis, as a place of memory, creativity and embodied knowledge. Yoggaton challenges binary understandings of spirituality and sensuality, body and mind, pleasure and knowledge through a decolonial perspective
Developed through ten years of workshops, performances and artistic research – including "Solar Threshold", "Culona de cerebro jugoso" and the research project P"erreando la migración" – Yoggaton has been both a movement and an artistic practice. As part of the celebration of Yoggaton's tenth anniversary, this scenic experience unfolds as a hybrid performance-workshop. Participants are invited on a journey that moves from reflection to embodiment, to celebration, blurring the boundaries between learning, performance and dance floor.
Following the Embodied Practice session, “Embodied Practices – talk on embodied knowledge” with Laura Campaz, Jenny M. Díaz Muñoz, Julieth Morales, and Maque Pereyra will take place.
Visitor Information
No previous dance or yoga experience is required. Everyone is welcome. Bring comfy clothes and water.

Further Information
Sind Körpertechniken ein Teil dessen, was wir Kultur nennen? Entstehen durch gemeinsame Körperpraxen Wissen? Und was hat dieses Wissen mit Macht zu tun? Die Reihe Embodied Practices, die in unregelmäßigen Abständen im Radialsystem stattfindet, erprobt Formen des Bewahrens und Weitergebens von Körperpraktiken aus unterschiedlichen kulturellen Zusammenhängen. Sie stellt eine Form der Wissensproduktion ins Zentrum, die mit dem Körper und der Erfahrung beginnt. Die Teilnehmer*innen sind eingeladen, gemeinsam mit den Künstler*innen in verschiedene künstlerische Ausdrucksformen einzutauchen. Die Reihe wurde 2022 mit den Künstler*innen Martha Hincapié Charry, Sandhya Daemgen und Raphael Moussa Hillebrand im Rahmen des Projektes „Encounters“ entwickelt.
