ABOUT CAROLINA BECKER By Sean Morris

Carolina Becker has worked with Contact Improvisation since 2002 when she began studying at the C.C. Ricardo Rojas in Buenos Aires with teacher Cristina Turdo.

She then traveled to Europe to continue her study of this dance form and the theory behind it. While in Europe, Carolina studied with some of the most distinguished CI teachers from around the world, including Steve Paxton (USA), Nancy Stark Smith (USA), Martin Keoghs (USA), Lucía Walker (England) and Eckward Muller (Germany) among others.

In 2005 Carol moved to Cordoba Argentina, where she began to offer classes and open Contact Improvisation sessions in and around the city. In 2006, she moved to the island of Mallorca, Spain, where she would continue to teach classes, offer intensive workshops, and organize open sessions. Here, she co-founded Espacio Esfera, a non-profit organization dedicated to spreading the benefits of CI in the Balearic Islands.

In September of 2008, Carolina was one of the teachers from around the world to teach at the first International Contact Improvisation Festival in Ibiza, Spain.

Soon afterwards, she moved back to Buenos Aires, where she has continued to play a large role in the spreading popularity of CI, regularly teaching classes, and hosting workshops and open JAMs. She studyed Body-Mind Centering ® with Silvia Mamana.

In January of 2010, in Uruguay, she was certified as DanceAbility teacher by Alito Alessi’s artistic direction and she started working with inclusive dance. He came back to Spain and taught intensive courses in Badajoz, Sevilla, Menorca and Valencia.


He now lives in Mallorca where he continues to develop its teaching dance and also writes and produce events for anyone interested in making Contact Improvisation a part of their life.
