I'm a freelancer who specializes in performance, movement, and creative direction and collaboration. I exist as an eternal dance of transformation; A product of diverse origins; A distinct thread within the tapestry found on the US-Mexican border. ​I move through life to the rhythm and beat of cumbia. It is an echoing heartbeat that defines my journey as a fronteriza. My purpose lies in deconstructing the fronteriza identity, venturing into the obscure and trans formative spaces where dispossession, geography, ritual, and the shadows of violence coalesce. My point of departure when creating is deep listening; long walks in the city, observing silence, meditating, and moving. All to prime my body to remain in an open state for the duration of my work. I have most experience in the field of performance and the performing arts, having worked as a freelance performer, director, and script writer. -- **Employment and project experience** **Performer** Paralello Teatro. _July 2023 - Present Day_ **Devised Theatre Researcher** Changing Lenses. _June 2020 - September 2020_ **Dance Instructor** Dynamite Cheer and Dance _May 2017 - May 2018_

    uniE613 Constellations
    "Constellations" is a 45 minute political performance work in progress that uses absurdism and illogical narrative to understand the term "Mexican" and pinpoint the origin of "our" race. We embark on a musical journey of cumbia rebajadas that ask you: Do you treat the history of your skin with irony? Have you ever thought of your moles as stars that carry the energy of an inherited past? How do you give the stories that live in your genes a shape, sound, and color? Ultimatelty we tell stories of love, revolution and trade in a Mexico marked by racism and colonization.
