en ruinas (2020)
Borikén has battled against colonization since the year 1943 when the Spanish colonizers threatened the island. In 1508, Ponce de León established Caparra, turning the marsh into the first colonial settlement on the island. Today the site has been converted into an archeological site next to the Museum of the Colony. Throughout the years the colonial status has left many parts of Puerto Rico in ruins. In this dance film, through improvisation, I touch on the absurdity, destruction, and abandonment that the institutions that run our land have caused.

spiraling in, outside (2020)
The beginnings of the COVID-19 quarantine provided a moment of isolation. In “spiraling in, outside”, I abstract the repetitiousness yet differences of daily life that give way to a cycle of vague continuity.
slow chaos (2019)
“slow chaos” is a work that embodies the simmer of confusion that comes along with the beginnings of breaking free from the gender binary. With a succession of isolated movements, stillness, and suspense the movement becomes rhythmic and full body but still layered with the past before jumping into the unknown.
