SHORT BIOGRAPHY




Yolanda M. Guadarrama is Mexican, started dancing in 1985, has been a choreographer since 1990 (creating about 30 pieces for different purposes). Beginning in 2007 she has been creating screendance as an alternative language different from the expression in the stage. Dance-Theater has been strongly important in her creations. She usually bases her movements in the daily body language.
Yolanda has been founder or cofounder of some Dance groups, Production groups and Literature publishing projects (Revista Moho, Editorial Moho). She studied Industrial Engineering at the University, and decided to leave the world of Engineering to enter into the world of contemporary dance. Most of her dance studies were done in Mexico. In 2007-2008 she lived in Berlin, where she picked some of the many options of dance training possibilities, and Yolanda gave birth (with Jenny Haack) to MOTION: a screendance festival in ADA-Studio, Berlin, 2008. Starting in 2013, she has been leading the project: MOVIMIENTO EN MOVIMIENTO (International Videodance Screening and Permanent Gallery) which has had five editions at Museo del Chopo, SOMA, and SAPS, Mexico City. From 2015 to 2017, Yolanda has collaborated as a curator in RIFF (R.E.D. International Film Festival —dance-art-cinema) settled in Eina, Norway. Also in 2015 she collaborated with the text “Curiosity as Principle” for the book “LA CREACIÓN HÍBRIDA EN VIDEODANZA” that Ximena Monrroy and Paulina Ruiz Carballido collect and publish in 2016-2017. She participated in the International Videodance Residence Comunidades Híbridas in Oaxaca, 2015, participating with text “Experience as an emerging curator” (http://comunidadeshibridas.weebly.com/escritos.html).
