I am Sabrina Rocha, an Argentine dancer, choreographer, and teacher. My career reflects a dual affinity: for movement and for the social sciences. I began my artistic path as a child in gymnastics, and during my teenage years I developed a growing interest in dance. I later continued my training in Buenos Aires with various teachers and at the University of the Arts, focusing on ballet and contemporary dance. In parallel, I graduated from the Social Communication and Journalism program at the National University of La Plata.
I received scholarships to further my studies in New York and Argentina, and I worked independently with directors and independent choreographers in Buenos Aires.
In 2020, I moved to Berlin to continue developing my professional career. Since then, I have performed in theaters such as the Staatsoper Berlin, the Semperoper Dresden, the Salzburg Festival, and the Theaterhaus Stuttgart, where I have worked with renowned directors such as Romeo Castellucci, Christof Loy, Maraime Clement, Claus Guth, and Ted Huffman, as well as choreographers such as Evelin Facchini, Klevis Elmazaj, Mathieu Guilhaumon, Sommer Ulrikson, and Pim Veulings, among others. I have extensive experience in opera as a performer and currently also as an assistant.
As a freelance dancer, I performed for three years with Katja Erdmann-Rajski in Stuttgart in a project made it for young audiences. I have also collaborated with María Colusi—as a dancer and choreography assistant—on educational programs in Berlin, and I have worked with Sasha Waltz, performing in the community project IN C.
Currently, I work closely with Evelin Facchini—a renowned opera and theater choreographer—with whom I continue to develop projects as both assistant and performer across Europe.
As an emerging choreographer, I have created INTERPLAY / JEUX DE MOTS—supported by the Goethe-Institut and developed with Ensemble Kinéticos (France)—as well as Everything Is Fine (a duet with Tiziano Portas) and TENUE (my latest duet work). I am currently collaborating with Javier Blanco at The Edge Company (Berlin). In 2021, I received a grant from the Akademie der Künste Berlin for my project DIALOGO. I am also co-director and co-creator of RUIDO, a festival of Latin American artists in Berlin.
My artistic perspective is grounded in a decolonial and feminist framework. I consider the social dimension of theater essential and seek to combine reality with fictional narratives.
