In the world of Dance who gets to be called a choreographer?

This is a small segment of a beautifully emotive choreo, one of the most recent ones I’ve created.

I’ve had to travel this journey of not being formally trained, but yet it is my body of work that brought me here and having the courage to dared anyway.

I’ve often tried to be technical or to tell a story, emulating, trying to not distort, to simply connect, to entertain and captivate. In all looking to have agency.

So in this current space I am settled in, I wanted for the choreo to hang in a state of being. With its ups and its downs, its rough margins, and akwardness. To move as if we were submerged in water, to walk as if our feet were on fire.

This choreo, not yet completed, much like a painting. It is bright and soft, at times sharp and romantic. Not meant to be rushed, abandoned, or forced to arrive any where. It is showered with subtleties, rawness, sometimes grief and sometimes joy.

Dance has taught me that, there is so much more to life, so much more to say. So much more to be, than being formally anything.

Gracias a quienes ven mi arte y han sido testigos. ¿Qué más puedo pedir?

Agradecida.

Part 3.

Gabriela le dio un ajuste a su piquete que de inmediato elevo su baile.

Figura.

La figura en el baile de Bomba es escencial. Tus brazos cuando no estan en roll activo marcando piquetes, tienen que tener proposito. Entonces dale figura.

Part 2.

Buscando angulos y marcando cierres. Con calma y sin prisa.
Muchas veces es en estos momentos de repenticion tediosa, trial and error, balance seeking and exploring is where we find our flow state.

Less chatter, more intention. Aquí se habla Bomba.
