Tracy Valcárcel
Tracy Valcárcel is a Peruvian video and movement artist based in Montreal. Trained in physical theatre, photography and dance, she moved to Canada to study Interdisciplinary Performance / Intermedia Arts at Concordia University where she received her BFA in 2012. In 2009 she was invited to participate in a month-long Laboratory of Creative Research hosted by the Grotowski Institute in Wroclaw, Poland. This experience marked her profoundly and still serves her as an inspiration to work with live performance. She is interested in the meeting point between live movement and technology; exploring the sensual capabilities of video and in turn, digitizing the body and its physiological signals. Her work and collaborations have been presented locally and internationally at several festivals. Valcárcel currently works as the artistic director of an educational institution in Lima, creating an online platform of radical mental health resources for QTBIPOC, and as an audiovisual and media specialist.
