Yoggaton: Transformative Pleasure

By combining yoga asanas, pelvic dances and reggaeton music, Yoggaton views the body as a place of memory, creativity and embodied knowledge.

From a decolonial perspective, Maque Pereyra challenges binary notions of spirituality and sensuality, body and mind, as well as pleasure and knowledge. Emerging from ten years of artistic research, workshops and performances – including ‘Solar Threshold’, ‘Culona de cerebro jugoso’ and the research project ‘Perreando la migración’ – Yoggaton is both a movement and an artistic practice.

To mark the tenth anniversary of Yoggaton, the Embodied Practice unfolds as a hybrid performance workshop: participants are invited on a journey that leads from reflection on embodiment to celebration, blurring the boundaries between collective learning, performance and the dance floor.

• Following the Embodied Practice, there will be an event entitled “Embodied Practices – A Talk on Bodily Knowledge” with Laura Campaz, Jenny M. Díaz Muñoz, Julieth Morales and Maque Pereyra.
