Geraldine Balcazar

Geraldine Balcazar is a contemporary movement artist, performer, choreographer and mother artist. Performance has invited her to imagine and be curious of her past, present and future. The artwork she creates challenges the role of the audience in participatory sensory experiences building intimate connections and a place for conversation. She is interested in the minute micro-movements, stillness, silence; and what emerges out of that.

She loves sketching and writing as ways of processing all the thoughts of art making. She is a collaborative artist who is beginning to use dramatugy as a way of thinking and extending her practice as an artist.

Geraldine is the recipient of the 2023 Regional NSW Choreographic Research Fellowship from Critical Path. In 2023 she will work with dramaturg Ira Ferris and artist Stella Chen to explore what a new relationship to TIME offers her practice and a different way to make work. What shifts/transformations in the individual and social body could occur through a shift; if we decolonise time and slow down – as an innovative approach to choreographic practice?. She will invite the public into her work on Bundjalung Country as part of the research.
