BIOGRAPHY
Dages Juvelier Keates (she/they) is an artist working with and through the materiality of their body as a somatic space for holding paradox. Their works explore performative and poetic methodologies in researching internal cartographies of somatic, psychoanalytic, and nonhuman knowledges.
Dages’s pedagogy and praxis center a queer, intersectional, feminist study of the subjective body as an accumulation of unanswered questions; a carnal, poetic, ephemeral archive entangled within and between “others.” Their transdisciplinary work spans performance, dramaturgy, writing and pedagogy.
Beginning in 2002, Dages's studies have earned accreditations in a variety of lineages. Since 2011, their syncretic teaching style has been profoundly impacted by immersion in studies with their mentor Nevine Michaan, founder of Katonah Yoga. Dages has taught retreats and trainings globally. In 2018, she released her first book, “Radical Acts of Embodiment: Teaching and Practices of Katonah Yoga.”
Dages lives and works between New York City and Stockholm, Sweden.
