Artist Statement
Art is a political act.
Dance is discipline and revolt.
My body is my country.
I react to my environment and use the body as a receptacle and messenger of the multiple realities that we are immersed in.
My work reflects my experience as a Latina/European artist living in New York and comes from a deep examination of my motivations as a woman, mother, and immigrant.
Performance is a conduit for examining cultural identity through form and content, as well as relationships between people and society.
Sharing my point of view of life with others is my duty and my pleasure.
I investigate the interior logic of performance and the role of a dancer in our culture today, redefining the parameters of dance and theater.
My works live inside and outside of the theatrical traditions and venues, as well as on the screen.
My art is about celebration and criticism of socio-political and cultural barriers. It is a ceremony of awareness.
I explore rituals to document intimacy and organize layers of character driven drama, and break apart quotidian social gestures.
I am creating a living vocabulary of meaningful movement that springs directly from emotions with visceral strength.
By using movement, spoken word, sounds, music, photographs, video projections, film, masks and props as tools, I create a dialogue to provoke a cathartic experience in the audience.

Artist Statement
I engage the public in their discovery of the experience of dancing. This practice has led me to develop tools for hospitality in performance and in the performing body. I seek to install dance ideas in theatres or public spaces in such a way that both public and performers will be invited in. Play is central to my practice in its power to re-shape reality. In my work, professionals and non-professional, young and old alike are capable, make choices and solve problems, lead and follow, create and collaborate. I make dances with and for parents/caregivers and babies/toddlers/children. I facilitate groups of youth, adults and elders to find their unknown dances as collectives and as individuals. My creative processes are sometimes held in theatres and often in public spaces because they hold our collective experiences/stories and affect how we move, behave and think. My goal is to create and produce contemporary choreographic works. To collaborate, exchange creative tools and to articulate new ideas between peers and mentors is integral to my creative process. I choose an esthetic of encounter and dialogue between dance and music over the practice juxtaposition of the two art forms. Video, photo and writing documentation are present throughout the creative process and inform its development or exist as a stand alone artistic output. Movement making is the result of problem solving with the collaboration of dancers. I seek learning opportunities with local mentors such as Karen Jamieson for deeper embodiment in the facilitation of my work in professional or nonprofessional contexts. I travel to the United States to study Ensemble Thinking with Nina Martin, a set of dynamic composition tools. As I become more aware, I stand against artistic and cultural appropriation and carry the knowledge and ideas with respect for peers, artistic mentors and ancestors.
