About

An ongoing inquiry into body, imagination and human experience.

I'm Riviera Ruiz, an artist, dancer, bodyworker and somatic practitioner. My work lives at the meeting point of touch, movement, dreams and image. Across different practices, I explore how the body senses, remembers, imagines and expresses. Whether accompanying someone in water, facilitating movement or making portraits, I'm guided by the same question: What becomes possible when we truly listen to the body?
