About
Paula Almirón was born in Buenos Aires and lives and works in Brussels. Her recent works explore liquid choreographies, addressing topics such as the desertification and extraction of bodies of water and the potential of liquids to create social, cosmological, and ecological bonds. Her projects emerge from collaborations, site-based research, and a sustained attention to liquids, geology, and the spiritual world.
She holds a Master in Choreography from 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 graduated from a formation on Fascia & Somato-Psycho-Pedagogy (2024, Body Mind Academy).
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.
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 neighbourhood, and they curated Swamp Sacrifices, a programme around the relation between the swamp of Brussels and the notion of non-productivity.
Her work has been shown at Kanal-Centre Pompidou and Beursschouwburg (Brussels), Sophiensaele (Berlin), Veem House for Performance (Amsterdam), Bâtard Festival (Brussels), Beyond The Black Box (Antwerp), Les Laboratoires des Aubervilliers (Paris), Dansand (KAAP), Kunsthalle Zurich, Munar Arte (Buenos Aires), Kunsthaus Zurich, Teatro 25 de Mayo (Buenos Aires), Sala de Belleza (Bogotá), among others.
