Diane has enjoyed bringing innovative work and new ways to imagine boleadoras to the contemporary circus and varieté scene.
She performs two contrasting acts which you can see below. Drawing from her diverse experiences, she has developed a unique and personal style, her rhythms and technique well rooted in traditional folkloric dances from Argentina.
Solo Act: Boleadoras
Diane's newest boleadoras act is currently onstage at the TigerPalast Varieté in Frankfurt. This theatrical and fierce act flows flawlessly from humorous and revealing sensuality, to charging aggression. Diane's innovative spinning stage comes to life while surprises unfold, including her technically precise head-banging in rhythm with her deadly weapon... all the while opening her heart to the audience.

Solo Act: Boleadoras con silencio
Boleadoras con Silencio is a journey through raw power, movement and sensuality, with a touch of spice! Boleadoras were formerly used as a hunting weapon in Argentina before they became part of the Argentine folkloric dance tradition. Diane surprises the audience with bouts of explosive percussion and poetic silence. She playfully "tames" the audience and brings sensuality to this rhythmic weapon.

COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS
Diane has collaborated with numerous artists in the Argentine folkloric and tango community, including Luis Lopez, Rocco Sedano, Juan-Cruz Suarez, Aurelie Gallois, Omar Silva, Tango Union, La Tipica Folklorica, to name a few. She performed with the company Danza Así in major Folkloric festivals in Argentina, including Festival de la Salamanca and Festival Nacional de la Chacarera. Diane has dedicated herself to continued research with boleadoras, creating personal vocabulary and a unique style.

Notre spectacle de danse vous transportera à travers les rythmes folkloriques argentine, ainsi que dans des états sauvages, sensuelles, et brutes. Nous avons travaillé avec la liberté de créer une nouvelle approche à la danse traditionnelle, apporté par ces deux danseurs qui ont le plaisir de vous partager leur spectacle innovateur.
IN/Pulso. Impulsion. L’élan, le partage. Cette étincelle qui nous anime. Les battements du cœur. Les battements du Bombo Legüero...
Le spectacle IN/Pulso est né de la rencontre de trois artistes, Omar Silva (directeur de la Cie Danza Así), Mauricio Sarmiento (directeur de la Cie Cuerpos Sin Codigos) et Diane Renée Rodriguez (danseuse et artiste de cirque). Ce spectacle a été crée en septembre 2015 et joué au Théâtre La Casa et Cine Teatro Renzi dans la ville de Santiago del Estero (nord ouest de l’Argentine), berceau des danses folkloriques et traditionnelles argentines. IN/pulso c’est la rencontre de l’art ancestral et de formes artistiques actuelles et multiculturelles. Energique et festif, il réunit des chorégraphies des deux compagnies fondatrices et des créations originales avec plus que 15 artistes sur scène qui mêlent danse traditionnelle, contemporaine, hip-hop, théâtre, musique, acrobatie, arts du cirque...
