Melissa Herrada

As an artist from northern Mexico, she creates choreographies from the fragile power of bodies that are permeated by a specific cartography. The subtlety, fragility and sensitivity of the body are at the centre of her choreographic practice. She is a scholarship holder of the Jóvenes Creadores 2024–2025 programme of Sistema de Apoyos a la Creación y Proyectos Culturales, Mexico. 

In 2014, she completed her studies in performing arts at the Escuela Profesional de Danza de Mazatlan, Mexico. In 2024, she completed the master’s degree in maChoreography (maC) at the HZT-Berlin, the Inter-University Centre for Dance at the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK). She has been a member of the Mexican dance company Cuatro X Cuatro since 2016.
