Laura Ahumada García is a Chilean performer, maker, site-specific artist, and educator based in Frankfurt, Germany. Her work lies at the intersection of dance pedagogy, decolonial perspectives, and accessibility, exploring how embodied practices can create spaces of belonging, co-learning, and structural change. She understands the body as a living archive — shaped by cultural memory, inherited behaviours, and the socio-political systems that influence how we move and relate to one another.

She holds an MA in Contemporary Dance Education (MA CoDE) from the HfMDK Frankfurt, supported. Laura has taught and shared her practice across Europe and currently teaches Capoeira in the dance department at HfMDK and professional training in different cities and dance companies.

Her engagement with Contact Improvisation began during her undergraduate studies at the London Contemporary Dance School. Since then, she has used and taught CI as a tool to deepen connection — with oneself, with others, and with the space. Her movement practice integrates hybrid approaches, combining Capoeira, Contact Improvisation, contemporary dance techniques, and instant composition.

Laura’s pedagogy is grounded in playfulness, joy, simplicity, and feminist decolonial perspectives. Through her teaching, she cultivates spaces where learning and unlearning happen collectively.
