Sophia Rodriguez (1984) is a cho­re­o­grap­her, per­for­mer, and cir­cus artist. She stu­died dan­ce, con­tem­po­ra­ry cir­cus, and phy­si­cal the­a­ter in Venezuela, Cuba, and Switzerland. She was stron­gly influ­en­ced by her long-term col­la­bo­ra­ti­on with David Zambrano. She has per­for­med with Koen Augustijnen, Ayelen Parolin, DE MAAN, Siamese Cie., and Micha Goldberg. She is cur­rent­ly col­la­bo­ra­ting with Simon Van Schuylenbergh on his pro­ject Ne Mosquito Pas (2020) and is part of Benjamin Abel Meirhaeghe’s suc­ces­sful con­tem­po­ra­ry ope­ra per­for­man­ce A Revue (2020). In her own work, Sophia uses phy­si­cal per­for­man­ce, voi­ce, and impro­vi­sa­ti­on as buil­ding blocks for ener­ge­tic and femi­nist per­for­man­ces. In 2019, Sophia cre­a­ted Ostentation, a pro­ject about the lay­ers of mea­ning gene­ra­ted by (fema­le) bodies in our capi­ta­list soci­e­ty. This impres­si­ve solo was selec­ted for Batârdfestival and the can­ce­led edi­ti­ons of NEXT fes­ti­val and ImpulsTanz in 2020.
