Ximena Moreno

Ximena Moreno was borned 31 years ago in Santiago, Chile. She is a psychologist and an independent dancer. She started studying corporal expression 5 years ago, and since then she has studied different techniques of dance for several years. Her training includes ballet, modern and contemporary dance, afro Yoruba (a dance with Nigerian roots, developed in Bahia, Brazil), baratha natyam (classical dance of India) and butoh. She has also been trained in Eugenio Barba’s model for performers and in psychodrama and she has practiced kung fu and kundalini yoga. During her studies she has participated in performances and improvisations, most of them in the streets of Santiago. Her teaching experience started guided by her first master, being an assistant teacher in corporal expression workshops for University students. Since then, she has carried out workshops in different contexts (rural towns, schools, work places) and with different people (children, young people, adults). Presently she is offering corporal expression workshops in order to share with the rest this non technical learning, in the search of a
genuine movement, an increase of awareness and an enriching interpersonal encounter.
