About
Paula Almirón was born in Buenos Aires and lives and works in Brussels. Her practice unfolds at the intersection of choreography, writing and geology, focusing on the constant intra-action between the social, the spiritual and the geological worlds.
She obtained a Master’s degree in ISAC, Brussels (2019). Previously, she studied a BFA in Theatre at the National University of the Arts (2007) and the dance program Arte XXI (2008), both in Buenos Aires. She recently graduated from a formation on Fascia & Somato-Psycho-Pedagogy (2024, Body Mind Academy).
Since 2019, she has been working around the notion of ‘water choreographies’. Her works Always Coming Hole (2021) and The River and The Devil (2025) emerged in relation to a desertifying group of bodies of water from the Bolivian Andean plateau. In this frame, she’s currently investigating blood-choreographies and liquid writing.
She collaborates with Wouter De Raeve in the project I Build My Language With Rocks, in the Northern Quarter in Brussels. They coordinated M33, a space devoted to the local movements of the neighborhood, and they curated Swamp Sacrifices, a program around the relation between the swamp of Brussels and the notion of non-productivity.
Paula works as a dancer, choreographer, mentor, outside eye and teacher, collaborating with Louise Vanneste, David Weber-Krebs, Wouter De Raeve, Eliane Bertschi, Diana Szeinblum, and others.
Her work has been shown at Bâtard Festival (Brussels), Veem House for Performance (Amsterdam), Kanal-Centre Pompidou, Kunsthalle Zurich, Munar Arte (Buenos Aires), Kunsthaus Zurich, Teatro 25 de Mayo (Buenos Aires), Sala de Belleza (Bogotá), among others.
