Pepa Ubera is a choreographer and interdisciplinary artist based between London and Madrid, with over twenty years of experience in the dance and performance sector. Her work explores the intersections of embodiment, technology, and speculative imagination, often unfolding as immersive performance installations that challenge linear narratives of progress. Drawing from feminist posthumanism, pleasure activism, and science fiction, she invites audiences into relational spaces where dreaming, stillness, and collective presence become radical acts.

Her concept of The Landscape of Ontologies frames performance as a living, breathing entity shaped by human and non-human interactions. With a strong foundation in movement and research, Pepa creates liberatory experiences that blur the boundaries between performer and audience, theory and practice, body and environment.

Recent projects include CHARCO (2023) and The Machine of Horizontal Dreams, her most ambitious work to date, premiering at Sadler’s Wells East in autumn 2025. This project critically reimagines Western ideas of progress through ecological, feminist, and intergenerational lenses.

Pepa has presented work internationally in venues such as Arts Admin, ICA, Dance4, Barbican, and Bluecoat (UK); Matucana 100 (Chile); kampnagel (Germany); and Critical Path and TasDance (Australia). Her performance Ellipsis Land (with Josefina Camus) was featured in Tate Modern’s first live exhibition Ten Days Six Nights and presented at Sadler’s Wells Theatre across two seasons. She was a recipient of the DanceWeb Scholarship at ImPulsTanz (Vienna) and a Sadler’s Wells Summer University artist (2015–2018).

In parallel to her performance work, Pepa has curated experimental platforms such as The Palest Light (Sadler’s Wells Wild Card, 2016) and Limen Festival (TripSpace/Hayward Gallery). She continues to facilitate spaces for shared reflection, deep listening, and imaginative knowledge-making. In 2024, she completed an MFA in Creative Practice at Trinity Laban, with a thesis synthesising the research behind The Machine of Horizontal Dreams.
