CAROLINA MANCUSO is an Argentinean born artist with more than 22 years of experience in the professional art field. As a dancer she has worked with the Hamburg Ballet of John Neumeier, Nederlands Dans Theater (1&2) and Korzo Productions (NL), among others. She was part in many creations of highly renowned choreographers : Marina Mascarell, Crystal Pite, Jiří Kylián, Ohad Naharin, Astrid Boons, Jasper van Luijk, Marco Goecke, Stijn Celis, Johan Inger, Alexander Ekman, Paul Lightfoot and Sol Leon, Jiří Pokorný, Antonin Comestaz, Joeri Alexander Dubbe, Kristian Lever among others.
Back in 2013 Carolina began with studying closely the mechanics of the joints, muscle capacities and functions, emotional embodiment, and the game theory. To free-up coordination she placed careful attention in the process of tissue contraction and relaxation (fascia training), sensory perception, and body – mind dissociation training. In the quest for finding a broader view, she continues to place interest in other holistic practices such as Body-Mind Centering®, Mindfulness, Yoga, and explores thesis about the natural evolution in humans, animals and in Mother Earth.
Her work has grounded in a day to day practice: Entropy Movement Research. For more than a decade she facilitates her training method. International organization where she has taught :
GöteborgsOperans Danskompani (SE), Skånes Dansteater (SE), Dance Theater Heidelberg (GER), Summer Intensive of NDT (NL), Scapino Ballet Rotterdam (NL), Artez University of the Arts (NL), Codarts – University for the Arts (NL), Tsoying Senior High School’ (Taiwan), The School of Dance in Taipei National University of The Arts (Taiwan), Le Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris (France), Cobos Mika (Spain), NOD Nuova Officina della Danza (IT), Milano Contemporary Ballet (IT), Fondazione Nazionalle della Danza Aterballetto (IT), Ballet Contemporáneo de Tucumán (ARG), Flora – Movimiento Contemporáneo (ARG).
Carolina also shares her knowledge in festivals and organises EMR_educational programs: ”Intensive Seminars” will focus on sensory training, emotional embodiment and movement biomechanics. While ”Labs” will focus in exploring performative practices. Since 2024 Carolina open a 1-on-1 personalised session ( ‘la sabia’ aka ‘the wise one). This tailored program invites humans to dive in a process of individuation and intuitive recovery. She also takes part in artistic projects as a collaborator, choreographers assistante, mentor, performer or costume designer.
Since 5 years Carolina lives surrounded by nature, basing her home in the mountain valley of Traslasierra (Córdoba, Argentina).

EMR_Sensory Training
In essence we will play. I will be there to guide and promote a skin-felt environment to tune into, and research. To enable movement I will propose simple tasks. The complexity generally appears when the thoughts and the sensations begin to dissociate. We will explore mass concepts (bidirectionality, malleability, anchoring structures, collaboratory forces, tissue memory, connecting elastics, intensity, energy) and cultivate compositional interest (space, sound, presence, interpretation).
In essence we will connect with our senses, breath, feel, perceive, recognise, acknowledge and register. Careful attention will be placed when testing the mechanics of the joints and the functional capacities of the muscles. We will welcome new entries of movement by enriching the power in observation, analysis, integration, and by cultivating awareness, self reliance and curiosity. We will study the self, the room, and the collective.
In essence we will meet horizontally as one more example in the room. ‘There we will dare’ to find our own truth. From an open stand I invite you to play, connect and meet.
