Bio

Iris Gonzalez is a dancer, dance pedagogue and choreographer.
To quote Pina Bausch: “I’m not interested in how people move; I’m interested in what moves them.” What has awakened my passion since childhood is contemporary dance. Later Contact Improvisation moved me. Since 2020, Aerial Dance and Vertical Dance have made me fly.
Iris graduated in Contemporary Dance Performance and Pedagogy, CSDMA-Madrid and parallel in Early Child Education. During her studies she completed dance internships in London, Dresden and Berlin, where she has lived since 2018.
In 2019 she discovered Aerial & Vertical Dance and trains through EU and EEUU at various Aerial dance companies including: Wanda Moretti & Simona Forlani, VoLA StageArt, Kate Lawrence, Lindsey Butcher, Antoine Le Menestrel, Magalie Lanriot, IACC, Juan Leiba and Bandaloop: Amelia Rudolph, Melecio Estrella, Becca Dean, Susy-Q, Roel Seeber y among others.
She takes part in various performative and educational projects with La Glo Zirko Dantza, VoLA StageArt, Il Posto, Dock11 & EDEN, Marameo, the youth companies SWG and Piccolo Theater, Larumbe, Co. Blu, Jo Parkes, Ashkan Afsharian, Violeta Borruel, NBM.
2022-23 she received grants to develop her own vertical dance projects: ON AIR research in Aerial & Vertical dance, DANDELION aerial dance piece for young Audience and “Between closeness and distance” together with Rebekka Böhme.
In 2023 together with Karla L. Mendoza was certified as a vertical dance teacher in the “Moretti” method and both began in 2024 “Flying dance education” teaching aerial dance for kids, youth and adults and with the support of Kultur Macht Stark in 2025 develop “FLYING ROUTES- inklusives Luft Bildungsprojekt”
