Dolma Jover Agulló is a dancer, dance teacher, creator, doctoral candidate in Applied Cultural and Art Studies at KunstUni Linz (AT). She is member of the Spanish Dance Research Association D + I: Danza e Investigación and the CID-UNESCO International Dance Council.

This research is based on the praxeological study of the materialities of the Cachucha dance. During the presentation, Agulló will approach and articulate the idea of how to decentralize corporeal information related to the historical, geographical, biographical, aesthetic, and stylistic dance body knowledge together with the documentation of the Cachucha dance found in dance notations, descriptive dance systems, pictures, video materials, literary descriptions, and academic texts. The main idea for this talk is to present a discourse on the process of reflection and analysis raised from the embodiment and somatic observation on the Cachucha dance variations and at the same time to approach the bodily and stylistic transformations enacted by the agency and memory of the dancer on four Cachuchas (La Cachucha en Chile, La Cachucha en el Sacromonte, Boleras de la Cachucha and Fanny Elssler's Cachucha).
