Catalina Rueda is a Colombian composer and performer. She loves Renaissance music, Latin American folklore, dances, and folk music of the world. In her music, these worlds merge into a sensory language. She searches for compositional hybrid forms in which composed and improvised music come together. This includes the development of improvisational concepts and their notation. She passionately collaborates with other art disciplines such as poetry/word/text, theatre and dance, seeking shared spaces where the interaction of art disciplines underlies the creative process.​
