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. Her work explores poetic methodologies in imagining cartographies of somatic, psychoanalytic, and nonhuman knowledges.
Dages’s centers study the body as an accumulation of unanswered questions—a carnal, ephemeral, entangled archive. Her 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 her mentor Nevine Michaan, founder of Katonah Yoga,® has profoundly impacted her syncretic teaching style. Dages has taught retreats and trainings globally and is the author of “Radical Acts of Embodiment: Teaching and Practices of Katonah Yoga” (2018) and “Breath Magic” (2025).
Dages lives and works in New York City. She is currently a candidate at Pulsion: The International Institute of Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Psychosomatics.
