Juana del Mar born in Bogotá, Colombia and currently lives in Berlin. She grounds her artistic practice, research, and pedagogy in dance and performance exploring the body, its tensions, and its complexities as singular and collective experiences in relation to context and encounter with others. Her projects often unfold in collaboration with artists from diverse backgrounds, engaging transdisciplinary methods to question established forms of relation, perception, and authorship.

She is co-director of the collective La Compañía, co-founder member of the Colombian dance group Maldita Danza and dancer and choreographer from Ati-erra, Dance and Multimedia Laboratory. She has participated in various international projects and performances, including festivals, residencies and internships in Croatia, Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Panama, Cuba, Brazil, Costa Rica, India, Nepal, and Senegal.

Since 2013, she has taught dance and performance in both formal and informal settings for children and adults, including at CENDA University’s BA Dance program in Colombia.

Juana holds a Laureate Distinction from the Interdisciplinary MA in Live Arts and Theatre at the National University of Colombia (2023), and was a DAAD scholar in the MA in Solo/Dance/Authorship (SODA) at the University of the Arts Berlin (UdK).

At Cove Park, Juana will be collaborating with Romany Dear.
