About me.

Ima Torres, trained as an actress in Bogotá, Colombia, and when she finished her training, she started to wander, to spin her search wondering what moves her forward. She came across Sensory Language and travelled to Barcelona to study the postgraduate course "Sensory Language and the Poetics of Play" at the University of Girona. Since then, she has been putting together pieces of every word, every stitch, every sound, every body she comes into contact with and which leaves her with something that transforms her always and forever.

​

She longs for poetry in all its manifestations, she investigates the possibilities that emerge from ruin, from the pieces that seem to be the end but are also the beginning of something, of an unexpected and revealing game. He is interested in the cages that open, the questions that open doors, the crack in the wall.

​

She wants to sculpt ideas with others, by others and for others, to give birth to the impossible.

Actress by profession, creator by trade. Sometimes she acts, but mainly she lives from her hands, from what they write, from the photos they take, from the caresses they offer and the threads they thread in the tapestry of life.And so it goes.
