PHYSICAL MOMENTUM
PHYSICAL MOMENTUM is an independent company created in 2007 that was conceived to fulfill its director’s choreographic needs. It revolves around a context where the motivations and forms of dance and the interdisciplinary are being redefined within the world of contemporary art.
The company’s identity is shaped through experiencing the dance and theatrical languages, being an axis of its dramaturgy the vigor of physicality. The performing resources of the company come from research and experimentation, not only from movement, but from the outcome of physical actions. A very strict light design is part of its dramaturgical identity and its visual poetry. The company’s creations showcase bodies under extreme physical conditions. Its pieces talk about universal thoughts: death, flesh, farewell, the individual. Physical Momentum’s choreographic speech has been displayed in several stages and platforms of the international dance market.
2026 marks the Company’s 19th performative anniversary, showcasing its work in international stages, meetings and dance and theater festivals in countries such as Mexico, The United States, Canada, Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, Ecuador, El Salvador, Panama, Guatemala, Venezuela, Costa Rica, Spain, Netherlands, Italy, France, Czech Republic, Ireland, Belgium, Switzerland, Croatia, Austria, Germany, Russia and Singapore.
PHYSICAL MOMENTUM has conceived 26 internal productions and 27 works comissioned for schools and collaborations with independent companies.
It has a record of 53 productions choreographed and produced works. The Company has been awarded several grants, supports and artistic residencies, presenting its work in over 250 Festivals within the European, Latin American and Asian scenes.
