Florencia Beatriz Turiace Warm-up as performance. Performance as warm-up.

Currently, Florence is using her residency space not to produce a specific project, but as a place of digestion and synthesis — a pause for reflection. Her focus is on developing a clear vocabulary for improvisation, one that can be taught and passed on. She sees the act of performing not just as an end result but as an integral part of the creative process:

Warm-up as performance. Performance as warm-up.

She explores how training, warming up, and performing can blend into one seamless, living experience — through instant performances, or by simply allowing others to witness the process.
Florencia is most interested in the raw, unfiltered moment of live composition — a space taken just as seriously as any rehearsed work. It’s in the present moment where infinite possibilities open.
When we tune into the subtle atmosphere, the energy in the room, the invisible thread connecting us all — that’s when transformation happens. That’s where art becomes alchemy.
She believes in the power of presence, collective awareness, and shared space. Her work explores the invisible forces that bind us In performative settings.

My time in Lake Residency so far

My time spend at LAKE residency reminds me of my time I was hiking in the Himalaya- when I was completely alone and I thought I would not be able to make it to the other side. I was found by a mountain guide who was there with his well trained-client. Thanks to him, I did not only make it, but I also made it faster than my friends who had a horse, than the five Israeli boys and his guide, than the Nepali Army that was seeking a lost soul in the mountain. Everybody was shock to find me resting on the other side, and even myself I was. This experience taught me about the strength we get from others; how other people make us physically and mentally stronger. The power of love, union, human connection, that is so underestimated by a society that values individual success.  


A part of me is still a lonely wolf- a hermit, a wise woman living somewhere remotely and sleeping naked on the cold rock. But when it comes to dance; when it comes to survival; when it comes to resistance- my creative and physical body craves for others. I take the strength and inspiration from the way you dance and from the interconnection we can build as a group “You can take the whole room, the whole room can take you”


Yet for me, on my studio time on my own, the question is, how can I re-create the energy of others and apply it to my dance. For this, before anything else, we need to warm up our imagination. After all, “There are infinite invisible beings in the space. You are never alone— not even when you think you are” and I can bring every sunset, every day  I lived, from the peak of the Himalaya, into my dance.
