Aion Arribas

Aion Arribas (they/them) is a neurodivergent movement artist, transdisciplinary researcher and teacher. They obtained a bachelor's degree in Graphic Design from Escuela Numero 10 in Madrid, a second bachelor’s degree in Choreography from SNDO in Amsterdam, and a master's degree in Fine Arts and Design from KABK in The Hague. Their work dances in between questions of embodiment and bodying, the interplay of creation with auto-theory, and the advancement of a neurodiversity paradigm through creative practices. Aion’s work often delves into the intersection of sexuality and neurodiversity accompanied by a neuroqueering approach. Along with antje nestel, they co-created shy*play, a platform focused on doing neurodiversity as a relational practice in difference. This approach challenges the logic of normality and neurotypicality, striving to create ever-shifting forms of sociality. shy*play is also a project hosted by the Research Lectorate of the Academy of Theater and Dance in Amsterdam (DAS Research) and a THIRD fellow 2024-2026 of the same department. Aion was awarded the Academy of Theatre and Dance Teacher-Researcher Fellowship 2023-2024 for their project "Neurodiversity as Relation in Arts Education" in collaboration with antje nestel and their platform shy*play
