NATALIA GRANADA -The sneeze lab

AUGUST 24 - 27

 

THE SNEEZE LAB

_Creation_ (10 hours)

 

The Sneeze Lab is a living, almost wild laboratory where movement emerges from organic impulses rather than rigid techniques. The “sneeze” acts as a metaphor: an involuntary, unpredictable gesture that breaks control and opens the way to authentic movement.
It is a space of exploration that moves from the inside out, where sensations and micro-movements expand into dance, in dialogue with the environment and with other bodies. Here, chaos is not a mistake but a creative force—an invitation to let go of control and discover a personal language rooted in identity and everyday life.

Natalia Pulido Granada is a choreographer and performer who blends her Colombian roots with the creative energy of Rome. In her work, gesture becomes a ritual and an act of resistance against homogenization and disconnection from the natural world. Her choreographies evoke sensory landscapes where bodies transform, decompose, and recombine, reflecting the constant change of nature.

Her research, inspired by biodiversity, transforms movement into a poetic language that tells the fragile and chaotic strength of life. She currently focuses on performance art and relational art, exploring the concept of community and creating spaces for sharing. Her most recent research focuses on sneezing and involuntary movements, investigating how the body interacts with public space as a place of dialogue with others.

Graduated in Contemporary Dance from the Academia Superior de Artes-ASAB and holding a Master's degree in Choreography from the Accademia Nazionale di Danza in Rome, she won the Erasmus scholarship at the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos in Madrid (2017) and is recently the winner of the A Landscape 2024 grant, which will allow her to participate in the DANCESCAPES 2024 training program.
