About: Please tell us about your self. Some of our programs have benefits for art workers - please tell us if you are an artist and mention the most recent work/venue/space/residency where you have worked/developed your practice.

Hello, I am a Mexican American dancer, choreographer, producer how is now back in NY after 5 years. I used to rent your beautiful studio many times and it is the best space for creativity to arise.
I am the artistic director of VALLETO a self produced dance company and this year we celebrate 10 years.
I came back to NY with the intention of giving my 100% to become an official non profit since now we are only fiscally sponsored. I wish to find all the possibilities to find funding for my company. The past years have been kickstarter campaigns and it was been a struggle.
However, my team and I have made happen over 20 full evening lengths performances. At the moment I will have an audition to find new dancers.
My most recent work was in Austin, TX I lived there for 1 year and it was called eternal bonds it is a work in progress and my intention is to show the finalized version on November this year.

I am an intersectional feminist as a domestic violence survivor and mental health advocate I also have an initiative called heal project where I hold workshops for people who wish to learn holistic modalities.

I have also produced 5 intensives. 3 in NY, 1 in Miami, and 1 in Austin.

My work talks about the depths of our psyche, it can be dark at times and abstract but it shows a clear structure that allows the audience to think, and maybe be triggered for the better. I touch upon subjects that are meaningful to myself and the dancers. My work is also theatrical, heart wrenching, and inspiring.

Background:

Dancer, Performance Artist, Choreographer, Director, Producer
