about
_mónica garcía vicente
Choreographer
I have been living in the world of dance since I was four years old. Dance transports thoughts and feelings, it is a language without words. A language that is spoken and understood worldwide.
As a dancer and choreographer, I translate inner worlds into movement. I want as many people as possible to find this connection to themselves through dance and physical expression.
For the past eight years, I have therefore been developing dance projects focused on participation and integration, working with people of all ages and from all walks of life. In doing so, I often collaborate with others from my local, regional and international network.
My projects for 2026:
WANDERUNG, MOVE YOUR TOWN, „I am [not] Giselle“, KunstSommer 2026, „Am I“ at the Kleines Fest im Großen Garten and at the Kulturzentrum Pavillon

”
an art historical point of reference for me is expressionism and its concept of art as a heightened expression of inner experience. art as a bridge between thought and lived experience, between feeling and its embodied expression.
