From a very young age I have been interested in artistic experimentation, generating my own language that moves between absurdity, humor and the abstract movement of dance. My fascination lies in the live stage act, in the body’s ability to communicate with other bodies, to transmit something that cannot be seen with the eye or defined in words.

I’m interested in the transversality in the arts, in being able to go beyond discipline categories, types of audiences, contexts and circuits of exhibition.

Since 2006, I have been creating and performing in several European and Latin American countries as the company Diana Gadish.

I studied Fine Arts for two years and in 2007 I graduated in choreography at S.N.D.O. (School for New Dance Development) -Amsterdam-, doing my internship with David Zambrano and Diego Piñón at Butoh Ritual Mexicano Center. I have extensive body training, over the years I’ve trained in rhythmic gymnastics, classical ballet, modern and contemporary dance, Body Weather, Authentic Movement, various styles of yoga, and the martial art Kalaripayattu.

In 2008 I came into contact with the world of clowning through Jango Edwards and his Cabarón Cabrón. I started to create clown sketches, performing in numerous cabarets, festivals, poetry events…

I have worked as a performer in different dance, theater, and performance projects in various European countries, with the artists Amaranta Velarde, Maria Stoyanova, La Fura dels Baus, Jeremy Wade, Guillem Mont, La Industrial Teatrera, Col·lectiu Big Bouncers, Colectivo Ameno, João Lima, among others.

Since 2015 I have been working as a hospital clown with the NGO Pallapupas. It allows me to practice proximity, direct contact… and experience regularly the clown transformative power.

On the pedagogic field, I have been teaching dance and physical expression to children, adults and young people,
in different schools, among them, Laboratorio escuela and Col·legi de Teatre de Barcelona. I also teach clown and Authentic Movement workshops for adults and teenagers.

I have also carried out various mediation projects, commissioned directions, and works involving different non-professional collectives. Among them, the project Other Maps with Colectivo Ameno , choreography and co-direction of 5 zarzuelas with the Fòrum Abelló company from Mollet del Vallès, the En Residència program at the Joan Boscà Institute with the Misión Divina collective.

Believing in the importance of thinking and generating artistic context, since 2010 I have been part of several
independent spaces for creation and exhibition (Cabaret de Cent/Casa de Cent (2010-2015) and CRA’P (2016-2022).
