Estefanía Álvarez Ramírez
Estefanía Álvarez Ramírez is a dancer, performer, and maker from Medellín, Colombia. She studied architecture in Colombia from 2010 to 2014. In 2019, she received a Bachelor in Dance from the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen, and in 2021 a Master’s degree in Dance from P.A.R.T.S. in Brussels.
In the past, her personal research has been driven by the notions of ‘built’ and ‘unbuilt’ constructions: an interweaving of craftspersonship, sentimentality and fiction. Imagery, nostalgia, humour and a dance departing from emotionality and technique are central to her artistic practice. She has collaborated with Kinga Jaczewska, Geert Belpaeme, Bosse Provoost and Ezra Veldhuis, Carly Rae Heathcote, Ode de Kort, Keren Kraizer, Lydia McGlinchey, Leila Hekmat, Lena Grossmann and Spazio Cura by Thorben Gröbel, among others. Since 2016 she collaborates with Luisa Fernanda Alfonso.
