Ixchel Mendoza Hernández is a Mexican choreographer, performer, and dancer based in Berlin. She graduated in choreography and dance from ArtEZ University of the Arts (Arnhem) and was a participant in the MA SoDA program at HZT Berlin.

Her practice unfolds through the long-term exploration of the Visual Ghost, a conceptual inquiry into perception, inner virtuality, and the subtle boundary between the sensed and the unseen. Through choreography, she engages with how realities are formed, experienced, and continuously reshaped through the body.

She has collaborated with Susanne Kennedy and Markus Selg on the re-staging of Einstein on the Beach (Berliner Festspiele, 2022). Recent works include THE MULTIPLICITY OF THE OTHER (Tanzfabrik Berlin), The Infinite Gesture (Radialsystem), and A Scenario Of A System Off (Radialsystem), supported by the Hauptstadtkulturfonds.
