Marta Navaridas
Marta Navaridas is a native of San Sebastián, Spain. Her interdisciplinary work takes advantage of the body as a key feature to explore ideas that combine the personal and the political. At the age of four, she took up classic ballet as well as Shotokan karate, later studied translation at UPF Barcelona, choreography at AHK Arnhem and physical theatre at HKA Amsterdam. She has created performances together with Alex Deutinger since 2008 and pieces of her own since 2015. In them, she combines text, live music and gestures in unexpected ways, playfully challenging social conventions and habits of perception. Titles include The Battle (2015), I Swear (2017), Onírica (2020), Stomach (2022) and Manifestations (2024). Her work has been shown internationally on stages, in galleries, museums and public spaces. Most recently at brut Wien, Marta Navaridas presented the performance MOTORA in 2023, which was then nominated for the 2023 issue of the Choreographic Platform Austria (CPA). martanavaridas.com
