Born in Veracruz, MX and raised in Wisconsin, U.S., migrating has been a part of my being since the age of four. In pursuit of opportunities in life and art often means looking ahead with little time to look at the past. While I welcome determination to continue growing, I also live in nostalgia to inform my present.

Racine, WI introduced me to theater and improv explorations of dance as a way to communicate without words. Milwaukee (2009-2013) exposed the “late-dancer” with somatic, choreographic, and technical teachings while Chicago (2013-2016) provided opportunities to dance and choreograph professionally. Now, Minneapolis (2017-present) becomes a place where I focus on what exists and re-discover its significance to my art and life.

Mental, emotional, and physical being are at the forefront of how I attempt to understand myself. The human condition through self awareness and self consciousness forms my career as a primary solo artist navigating the complexity of also being a queer-bilingual-immigrant individual. Historically searching for acceptance, I have learned it starts within. Thus giving myself permission to seek the truth in others while attempting to listen, observe, and learn through the complexities of being human.

Time. Space. Introspection. These motifs are my lens in navigating life. The spectrum between tension and calmness of who I am through my experiences informs the art I create. I reflect, dream, question, and challenge myself first in order to do so intentionally with others. This solo path sometimes seen as self-centered is my way of knowing who I am when I am with you — on and off the dance floor.
