Catalina Insignares is a colombian choreographer and dancer based in Brussels. She’s interested in how to use the sensorial and fictional means of the body and of touch to develop ways to communicate with the invisible. Her practice includes, among others, a duet danced with a participant over a few weeks (us as a useless duet—2015), a night reading addressed to sleeping bodies (useless land—2017), and sensory practices that listen to the connections we have with the dead (landscapes of the dead – 2019; to know the vultures so well—2022), and a vocal form of listening to the veins of the world (h o l l o w, 2025). Since 2015, she collaborates with Carolina Mendonça, maintaining close complicity in different manners of working together in teaching, and in each other's works. Since 2017, she has been working with Myriam Lefkowitz in a collaboration that seeks to infiltrate sensory practices in the social and political realities of exiled peoples (La facultad—2017). From 2019 to 2022 Catalina developed her research as part of DAS THIRD in Amsterdam. From 2019 to 2024 she was a co-curator at the Gessnerallee in Zurich. Catalina has been periodically invited to intervene in different schools as guest teacher or mentor (DAS Choreography, P.A.R.T.S, University of Giessen, Antwerp's conservatory). She works as a somaticist in the Master Program Live Art Forms in the Nuremberg Academy of Fine Arts.
