Ixchel Tapia Fernandez

Ixchel Tapia Fernandez is a performer and dancer born in Mexico City. Since a young age, she has been drawn towards dance, movement and art in general, and therefore decided to pursue a career in contemporary dance. At the age of 17, she left Mexico to continue her studies in Salzburg, Austria. 

Currently, she has embraced the adventure and challenge of becoming a freelancer in Germany, specifically in Berlin, while also exploring and vocalizing her own creative process. Through her practice, she investigates the intersections between new, old and normal movement possibilities as well as the emotions, allowing vulnerability, joy and honesty to emerge and take form in her work. Ixchel continues to develop her artistic voice by collaborating with other artists and engaging in multidisciplinary projects that deepen her connection to the body and mind, while embracing her Mexican roots.
