ABOUT ME
WHO I AM
My name is Camila Araya, I was born in Santiago de Chile, and I have lived much of my life in the commune of Puente Alto, until 2019 where I decided to move to Berlin to continue my studies in Dance.
Since I was little, dance has been my driving force in life, and in 2002 I began my informal studies in ballet technique, professionalizing myself as an artist in contemporary dance at the Universidad Academia de Humanismo Cristiano, Chile between the years 2007-2012. To finally graduate as a performing artist and enter the world of choreography in 2021 from the Berlin Dance Institute, Germany
WHAT HAVE I DONE
WHAT I DO
During my time at UAHC, I had the opportunity to work with and learn from a variety of performing artists, including Raimond Hilbert and Carolina Bravo, among others. In addition, the school gave me the chance to perform on prominent stages and at festivals, such as Plaza Brasil and Matucana 100, as well as Plaza Brasil and Bellas Artes.
After graduating, I had the opportunity to work with independent theater and dance companies, La Reflexiva and Titiridanza, respectively. Among these, I would highlight the experimental dance company I.D.E.A., directed by Beatriz Alcalde, where I had the pleasure of working from 2013 to 2019.
In addition, in the field of education, I have worked as a teacher of ballet, contemporary dance, and jazz at various schools and institutions in Santiago and Berlin, notably Humboldt University and the Technical University.
I am currently working on two artistic initiatives simultaneously.
The first is the development of my personal brand, Danza Berlin, where I teach dance classes tailored to each student’s needs, helping them reach their full potential. I strive to create a community space based on mutual listening and collective respect.
In addition, I continue to work on my own choreographic projects, rooted in the essence of the two works I created as part of my diploma program at the Berlin Dance Institute: La TAura and Under ESTE Himmel. From these emerged Taurinas in 2022, presented at the PAS Festival in Berlin, and Unsere TRIBU, presented at Prospettiva Danza Teatro in Catania—a work that was also presented this year, 2026, in an interactive format with the audience. In addition, I had the privilege of presenting PUZZLETEILE at the Wedding Gallery in 2026 and serving as the choreographer for the piece La danza de las mariposas, presented at the Humboldt Forum.
