Began her career in 2006 with urban and club dance forms and jazz improvisation, and has since developed a passion for dance art that blend rhythmical footworks and clubbing with contemporary dance and performance.
Since 2015 Marina has worked with choreographers such as Adrian Vega (Spain) and Alesya Dobysh (Corpo Maquina,The Netherlands) and has traveled extensively across Europe and Asia, drawing inspiration from the performance arts, club cultures, and music scenes to develop her distinctive artistic style and movement research. Through these self-driven travels and creative collaborations, Marina has self-educated in dance and performance for over eight years, cultivating an original interdisciplinary approach to movement in her own creative practice.

In 2016 Marina began to organise the first JazzBetween multidisciplinar artistic gatherings in the format of the club night, that ended up exporting to Tokyo, Bratislava, Russia, and became recognised as one of the most cutting-edge and inclusive music and dance sessions of the Barcelona city.

In 2018, she began to focus on experimentation in the realms of movement and sound, in the interrelation between musical instruments and the body, and started fusing urban subcultures into her performances.
Marina's current artistic focus investigates three directions: hybridisation of the dance languages, sonic and musical experimentation with instruments in the movement research, and research on new performance formats and experiences for the stage.

As a result of those researches, she presented her first stage work: concert-performance JazzBetween.LIVE at La Mercé Festival, Barcelona (2019) and won the XV Certamen Coreografic de Sabadell (2020) with her first collaborative work "Re.titled" with choreographer Alesya Dobysh (The Netherlands). In 2021 she was the finalist of the Choreographic Festival "Pasoa2", Madrid with the work " Re.titled" and choreography "We are just ok" by Adrian Vega.

in 2024 Marina worked with "INAUDIT" project by Adrian Vega & Adriano Galante in the Creació i Museus project of Festival Grec, Barcelona as an assistant of the movement research.

Marina is known for her constant collaborations and improvisation practices with musicians, including the latest experiences: with Edurne Arizu and Jazzgranollers Ensemble, experimental performance "Materia" with Adriano Galante in the EINESS (Konventzero, 2021), Festival Keroxen (Tenerife, 2022), and "Metaplec", the research on the composed improvisation with the collective of performers, produced by Festival Moujuic (Barcelona, 2023).

Teaching Experience
During her 16 years experience in club/street dance, jazz fusion and contemporary improvisation she gave workshops and organised laboratories in Spain, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Finland, Russia and Asia. She taught UK jazz fusion and house dance techniques, as well as "jazz not jazz" workshops for research & improvisation, experimenting with footworks forms and rhythms, using "sound-texture-qualities" tools for the development of dance improvisation & movement practicing.

Marina presented contemporary practices of jazz improvisation in the official educational program of International Jazz Day 2018 in Saint-Petersburg and hosted a course of Urban Dance & jazz Improvisation in Institute Del Teatre, Barcelona, 2019.
In 2020 she started her educational Online courses and sessions on "Jazz not Jazz" improvisation.
In 2021, Marina launched "Jazz Not Jazz Weekend," an annual summer program featuring improvisational dance sessions led by invited teachers representing diverse dance forms and approaches to improvisation and movement development.
From 2022 Marina travelled around European dance festivals and art centres with the "Jazz not Jazz" movement workshops, such us: Tic Tac Art Centre, Belgium; Nida, Dance Colony, Lithuania.

Marina about her musical roots:
"I was into hip-hop music and extreme sport as a teenager, hanging out in the clubs, where at the same hip-hop night played drum and bass and techno music, later when I moved to Moscow and started to be a part of the dance community my tastes evolved into funk, house and future beats music, later on dancing to one of the jazzy remixes on the house track, I discovered the jazz. From that moment my musical preferences started to revolve around all types of music with a hint of jazz: house, detroit, broken beats, jazz fusion, bebop, jazztronica.
In 2015 i created couple of radio podcasts, speaking about young music producers and playing jazz-inspired music and later i became a DJ with the idea to transmit all the music I liked, as a dancer and as a listener: everything between jazz that grooves me in the dancing room or on the dance floor".

As a DJ she generates her personal vision between jazz, club grooves and electronic sound as a JazzBetween music.

Marina: "The DJ sets that I like to play now are always an invisible musical bridge between the past and the future of jazz music mixed with a lot of experimentation for the electronic sounds in between".

In 2016 she started to organise the first JazzBetween events in the music clubs of Moscow, that ended up exporting to Saint-Petersburg, Tokyo and Bratislava and finally had been based in Barcelona as one of the most avant-garde Jazz not Jazz sessions, that starting from 2022 continued as a performance - happening at the theatres, public and other site-specific places.
Her interest lies in the renewal of the relation between contemporary performance, dance and music from different sound backgrounds, clearly seen in Jazzbetween and her inexplicable way to generate a space that can be co-inhabited by artists who came from Jazz and Not Jazz.
