Tove and Jaime (Impro duo)

JAIME CABALLERO MILANI

My artistic education started with Literature. I graduated in Hispanic Philology and over the years I've written several short stories, poems and two novels.

I started off with contemporary dance more than fifteen years ago. After that, I completed a one-year contemporary dance training program at ‘Amelia Caravaca Dance Studio’ in Madrid, followed by another year-long training plan at ‘Carmen Senra Dance Academy’.

Over the next five years I was involved in dance initiatives while studying contemporary dance within the training program at ‘Descalzinha Danza’ in Madrid.

In 2014 I took part in the performance of ‘Free Fall’, a dance piece (inspired in CI) choreographed by Sharon Friedman, being one of the voluntary dancers who accompanied the main dancers on the shows.

I participated at ‘Madrid's Microdance Competition’ with two different creations in two different years. My own choreographic work ‘Cicatrices (Scars)’ was selected in the second edition while ‘Fuera de Cobertura’ created by Azucena Moreno, was selected for the fourth edition.

Additionally, I performed at the video dance ‘Juego (Play)’ awarded second place at the ‘First Videocreation Contest’ at the Alicia Alonso Dance University.

I also enjoyed an art residency at ‘Espacio en Blanco’, within the ‘Frequency Project’, which allowed me to develop along with Jorge Calvo Albinelli a choreographic work named ‘Principio de Incertidumbre’.

During all these years in Madrid, I co-organised regular dance jams and events, hosted by ‘La Tabacalera’ in Madrid.

Since I am based in Berlin I have participated in the performance of the piece Fall Before Fall, The Creature and (as a dancer) in the films Hear Us Sweet Freedom and Carry Weight.

In the last three years, I have been giving contact-improvisation classes and hosting contact jams in Berlin in Marameo, Interkukturelles Haus Pankow. And Phynixtanz.
