Maria Francesca Scaroni is a dance artist, living in Berlin since 2004. She crossbreeds somatic practices and speculative interests with witchcraft, healing, performance, and choreography. She hosts workshops and gatherings re-purposing post-modern dance legacies towards technologies for mutual empowerment.
Maria has been collaborating with Meg Stuart/Damaged Goods since 2009 and since 2016 is a part of queer feminist collective Lecken Berlin. Maria currently runs a community space, Social Pleasure Center, an initiative that creates access to somatic practices, craftivism, discourse and community offerings.
