Dancing on the Moon
Dance is an important medium of self-exploration, expression and liberation for Tara. Early 2021, she created the work "Moon Dancers", result of a self-organised art-residency in Quito, Ecuador. This painting is a reference to the art of finding freedom and connection through dance. This style - a puzzle of human bodies dancing in countless shapes - traveled along with Tara and evolved.
Returning to Costa Rica, Tara continued to work with this theme as the bodies became red and androgynous. She then travelled to Mexico and got in touch with a gallery owner in San Christobal, Chiapas. There, she created the exposition "MOVE", a series of paintings presented in art hotel Sereno. During her Fine Arts master studies in Málaga, Spain, Tara made a 200cm x 150cm painting with this design and she did a dancing performance on top of the painting. In 2022, Tara created a ritual under the full moon with her menstruation blood, influenced by this particular style. The project then evolved into Tara's Womb Rituals.
Tara is grateful for the teachers, dancers and schools that have offered a container to explore bodily expression. This way, these works were indirectly supported by Durgas Tiger School, Hridaya yoga and the community of contact improvisation dancers worldwide.
