CONCEPT

We think of dance and movement as an expression of cultural horizons and visions of the world embodied in the body. Lives dance in the corporeality, breaths dance, cosmogonies dance. The Universe dances and with it we dance, in a chamber. That magical and ritual act of the corporeal expression of popular culture, that spirit that moves the culture of the peoples, is projected on a screen.

Each being that dwells in the world, perceives itself as a member of a space and a culture. The experience is its own and non-transferable, but it is also nurtured and shared in the territorial and symbolic belonging. For this reason, from Cámara Corporizada we navigate the deep sea of the collective, autochthonous and popular, from a personal, unique imprint, without aesthetic or narrative limits. We believe in an artistic and experimental syncretism, based on innovative and contemporary proposals from and about popular culture.

Through a diversity of genres and formats, Cámara Corporizada will recognize the different cultures of each territory, with their own identities, corporealities and spiritualities, taking into account the relationship between dance, body and camera, facing all manifestations that are equated within the folkloric, roots and popular dance of the world (and the wide range of expressions: traditional, indigenous, afro roots dances, gypsy dances, sacred, rituals, carnival dances, murgas, comparsas, masquerades, urban, etc.). We want to promote the diversity of voices, ways of doing and representations, through broad, creative, disruptive, personal and collective views.

The Festival is an initiative of the Plataforma Cámara Corporizada, a space for research, investigation, training and experimentation on videodance, especially in those dance expressions with folkloric roots and its intersection with cinema and audiovisual format. Declared of Interest by the Ministry of Culture of Argentina in 2021. It is part of the Circuito Argentino de Videodanza - CAV (Argentine Videodance Circuit) and the Red Iberoamericana de Videodanza - REDIV (Iberoamerican Videodance Network).
