LINA GÓMEZ
 

Lina Gómez’s work constantly plays with the visible and invisible, the human and more than human. Through dynamic scenic configurations and the unique presence of bodies, Gómez explores the possibilities of connection through difference. Her creations bring to life the transformative forces that surround us, pass through us, and emanate from within us.

​

Her choreographic approach blends diverse movement traditions with a focus on persistence, repetition, and musical energy, challenging perceptions of time and opening up new possibilities for imagination.

 

The Colombian-born and Brazilian-raised choreographer, dancer, and teacher Lina Gómez studied dance and theater in São Paulo and choreography in Berlin.

​Her group piece "A Passo di Mulo" premiered at Tanzfabrik Berlin in 2018 and was restaged the following year. Her work "Restraint" has been presented at various venues across Europe and was featured in the European dance platform "Aerowaves Twenty19". The development of her group piece "Träumerei des Verschwindens" (2022) and the highly acclaimed premiere of her latest work  "Vagarosas" (2023) were performed for a large audience at Radialsystem Berlin. Recently, Lina Gómez premiered and toured with her production WIRRUNGEN-Sapatos Cegos (2024), a performance for public spaces as part of MECKLENBURG-VORPOMMERN TANZT AN, and premiered Antigone (2025) in collaboration with Jörg Wesemüller for the Staatstheater Braunschweig.

 

Gómez has shared her dance practice at institutions worldwide and mentored students and projects in Germany and Brazil. As a dancer and performer, she has collaborated with Tino Sehgal, Yoshiko Chuma, Edson Fernandes, and Jorge Garcia, among others.

Furthermore, since 2015, the Goethe-Institut has supported her research residencies in Uruguay, India, Chile, Italy, Turkey, and Japan.
