LINA GÓMEZ
 

Lina Gómez’s work constantly plays with the visible and invisible, the human and non-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.

 

With a focus on persistence, insistence, and repetition, Gómez challenges our perception of time, opening up new possibilities for imagination. Her choreographic approach features the fluid interweaving of diverse movement traditions from various cultural contexts, alongside an exploration of the energy that flows between music and body.

 

The Colombian-born and Brazilian-raised choreographer, dancer, and teacher Lina Gómez studied dance and theater in São Paulo and Berlin, where she currently lives and works.

​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". Most recently, 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. This summer (2024), Lina Gómez toured with her production WIRRUNGEN Sapatos Cegos, a dance performance in public spaces, as part of the MECKLENBURG-VORPOMMERN TANZT AN program.

 

Gómez has shared her dance practice at various dance institutions internationally. She has also worked as a mentor for dance students and diverse dance projects in Germany and Brazil.

As a dancer and performer, Lina Gómez has worked 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.
