What does it mean to have a company in this era?
Is that even possible for independent artists?

LOAIZAcorpóreo is the façade I've put forward since 2018. It exists as my "company" name whenever grant, festival or other annoyingly inflexible forms require it... In reality, I'm just a guy who works with who I can, when I can—stubbornly intent on building friendships along the way.

I think the idea of having a company piles unnecessary pressure onto independent artists who just want to make shit, imposing almost unnatainable work models on dance collectives that are figuring out how to stay together. What I care for is strong, diverse, fun groups that exchange their time and creativity for the satisfaction of art (...and getting paid, of course).

Things might change, but for now it’s just me—Victor—with great talented friends. Smashing art and body. Making stuff. Awesome stuff..

What does it mean to have a company in this era?
Is that even possible for independent artists?

LOAIZAcorpóreo is the brand that I have put forward since 2018. It serves as the name for my “company” whenever grant, festival or other application forms require it. It’s fake—in a sense…

I don’t care much for the idea of a company as an artist, I think it’s a somewhat impossible, romanticized and obsolete perspective on dance collectives in the present era. What I care for is friendships and strong, diverse, fun groups that come together for specific projects.

If you want, you can name my company LOAIZAcorpóreo, but… really, it’s just me: Victor, and great, talented friends—smashing art and body, making stuff, awesome stuff.

Nova

About Showings Credits Trailer

NOVA (2023) is a piece for two dancers that explores sexual attraction, affectivity, and intimacy between men subject to heteronormative frameworks of masculinity. The choreography translates the personal experience of Víctor Hugo Loaiza, as it shares the story of two men who have an unexpected erotic encounter.

In dialogue with José Esteban Muñoz's "Cruising Utopia," the choreography delves into the tensions between heterosexuality and homosexuality, fragmenting its narrative arc into two sections: The Here and Now, and The Then and There

THE HERE AND NOW

'The Here and Now,' explores hidden homoerotic gestures within traditionally masculine spaces and activities, such as gyms, sports, clubs (including nightlife venues), and fraternities. These subtle hints clash with typical 'heterosexual' behaviour, creating a complex network of bodily gestures that reflect conflicted physical interactions between desire and the implicit prohibitions of societal norms

THE THEN AND THERE

'The Then and There,'
depicts an iridescent
horizon of erotic liberation.

'Here, masculinity and homosexual bodies shine brightly, free from the constraints of competition, humiliation, and violence.

This utopian realm is rooted in hope and emerges through the activation of queer utopian memory.

Nova is the transition of memory into stars.

It is the transportation of one’s body into a universe far beyond normativity.

Nova is the possibility to absorb and be absorbed in pleasure; to self-implode in ecstasis.

It is a place of reflection,
a place where every clash of skin is an epiphany, a place where the accumulation of erotic charge finally explodes into cosmic dust.
