Yuliana Meneses Orduño is a movement artist and researcher whose practice explores the intersection of body, ecology, and culture through transdisciplinary approaches. She began her dance training in Butoh in 2010 alongside studies of Indian classical dances. In 2018, she received a Darmasiswa scholarship to study Javanese dance at the Indonesian Institute of the Arts (ISI) Surakarta, where she also began practicing Joged Amerta under the guidance of Suprapto Suryodarmo. After returning to Mexico in 2019, Yuliana developed BE: Body Experiences, a platform that promotes sensory perception, affect, and relational closeness as essential practices for coexistence—drawing from ecosomatics, ecopoetry, biology, philosophy, indigenous knowledge, and various visual and media arts.
