Aimar Pérez Gali, dancer, choreographer and pedagogue, Aimar Pérez Galí is a contemporary dance professional who has developed a line of research around movement, dance and its history that has brought him through the big door to the visual arts scene. From the conviction that the dancer is not only the translator who interprets the choreographer’s text, Pérez Galí considers himself a subject who generates discourse in his practice, where research on the history of dance, the role of dancers and their more human side also play a fundamental role.

Unlike traditional criticism in which the subject develops his practice on an object of study, in this work the simultaneity of physical and intellectual discourse coincides with the same person: the dancer. The criticism is embodied and therefore sweaty. With this proposal, an attempt is made to emphasize the otherness of this kinesthetic language while developing a critical analysis of how the figure of the dancer has been historically constructed as a subject of subalternity, a mute subject without the capacity for agency or political voice.

A work by Aimar Pérez Galí with the support of Mar Medina, Paul B. Preciado, Jaime Conde-Salazar and the sweat community, which is now being updated, ten years after its recent creation.
