BIOGRAPHY
Dages Juvelier Keates is an artist who works with and through the materiality of one’s body as a somatic space for holding paradox. Their work explores poetic methodologies in imagining cartographies of somatic, psychoanalytic, and nonhuman knowledges.
Dages’s centers study the subjective body as an accumulation of unanswered questions—a carnal, ephemeral, entangled archive. Their transdisciplinary work spans pedagogy, performance, dramaturgy, and writing.
Beginning in 2002, Dages's studies have earned accreditations in various lineages. Since 2011, immersion in studies with their mentor Nevine Michaan, founder of Katonah Yoga,® has profoundly impacted their syncretic teaching style. Dages has taught retreats and trainings globally and is the authore of “Radical Acts of Embodiment: Teaching and Practices of Katonah Yoga” (2018) and “Breath Magic” (2025).
Dages lives and works between New York City and Stockholm, Sweden.
