Beschreibung	BIOGRAPHY My name is Ricardo Vasquez, and I am a current member of Dantzaz, a junior company in San Sebastian, Spain. As of April 1st I will join the ick cast in Amsterdam as a dancer and In July of 2024, I will also complete my studies at the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK), receiving my Bachelor's Degree in Contemporary Dance. I've always been a person that is constantly moving so dance has always been a safe place for me. I am interested in continuing to discover new movements and experimenting with dance and my body in different ways. DIPLOMAPROJECT In this project, I will delve into the body's movement, investigating the past of each dancer and what have been the impulses and how it aids to form a quality of movement. I would like to know a little of how and where this movement is born and how it is reflected in the aspects of their life. I would like to interview a select group of dancers of different ethnicities who have gone through various dance styles or movement practices and ended up in the same profession. I have chosen 5 people from different backgrounds in order to discover all of this. You will see in the project how each person may move differently but when they are in a group they connect with each other. I aim to show how different bodies react to the same piece of music when they are separated and when they are together.
