Verónica Santiago Moniello is a Venezuelan dance maker, based in New York. She holds an MFA from UC San Diego (USA) and a BA from Folkwang Universität (Germany), where she engaged with Pina Bausch’s repertoire. Creating across choreography, performance, research, curation, and teaching. She approaches dance as an emanation from a body in flux and in farewell, in correspondence with nature, poetry, exploring gestures of dispossession and what it means to hacer nacer—to allow oneself to drop into being. Her work takes shape through sensory encounters and process-oriented collaborations, across Central, North, and South America and Europe. In 2017, she created Habitual, a nomadic research studio rooted in site-responsive practice.

“The festival was such a wonderfully supportive community of artists to perform amongst and a generous audience as well. The performances were inspiring and exceptionally well-run, which I appreciated.”
