Maria Martínez Cabeza de Vaca is an experienced choreographer and dancer from Andalucia, who has distinguished herself in the panorama of Spanish contemporary dance. Her work is characterized by its exploration of the limits of enactment, overstepping the boundaries between action theatre and performance art. Her shows make use of a variety of different languages from art, dance and theatre. She is also known for her passionate interdisciplinary research, always exploring the depths of language and the relations between different creative universes with artists originating from other fields. Intelligence and humour are two core elements in her work, using “stupidity” as an intelligent way to deal with transcendental themes. Her last project, based on a text by the artist Louise Bourgeois,“Una forma fácil de acabar con todo” [“An Easy Way to End It All”], received the prizes for best stage performance and best female performer 2012, awarded by PAD, the Professional Dance Association of Andalucia.
