Residency period: September 2026
Residency granted by NCP PLUS - Nordic Choreographic Platform / NordPlus
Dakota Comín is a Spanish artist and choreographer based between Stockholm and Berlin. She received her Master’s Degree in Choreography from Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH) in June 2026.
Her artistic practice explores materiality and fiction as active agents in the creation of alternative contexts and ways of making and imagining through choreographic processes. Working from a sensory, embodied, and physical approach, her interests extend beyond the body into textile processes, writing, and immersive environments, establishing dialogues between materials and collaborative and relational methodologies.
Drawing on new materialism, decolonial feminist theory, and queer ecology, her research engages with questions of material agency, otherness, and collective responsibility. She proposes imagination as both a right and an ethical practice rooted in interdependence and situated knowledge, with the aim of developing sustainable, local, and relational practices.
Her solo and collaborative works have been presented at Fringe Stockholm, MDT / Moderna Dans Teatern (Stockholm), PAF Berlin, Tanzzentrale Nuremberg, Weld (Stockholm, Lake Studios Berlin, Sala Inestable Valencia, CCCC Valencia, or Cuerpo Romo Madrid, among others. She is also an active member of the Berlin-based collective WILD LISTENING.
