“As a Puerto Rican woman, I am committed to craft my artistic work as a performer, dance maker, and educator through the research of somatic improvisation. This practice gives me a vehicle to inhabit the body’s sense of agency, empower self-knowledge, approach cultural exchange, and engage respectfully with the world. This investigation has deepened through my experiences working in Puerto Rico, Cuba, UK, South Korea, US, and relating to people of different cultures, ages, social environments, diverse artistic practices, as well as my experience as a mother of two wonderful humans”
