I was born in Mexico and trained in Butoh and Somatic dance techniques, both of which enable one to express deep, often unconscious feelings through movement.

My personal work as a dance performer allows me to tell stories that I feel need to be told, bringing awareness to the unsaid, breaking silences and showcasing the power of conversation.

I enjoy working collaboratively. When I created Bitter Pineapples, with artist and filmmaker Anna Cady it was an exciting challenge. Combining the creativity of dance, improvisation and movement with film where the process is generally much more prescriptive. Together we endeavoured, to convey the role dance plays in coming to terms with trauma. I believe we all have trauma from unsaid and untold stories inside us. Dance is the perfect way to access, express and release it.

I am also enjoying my ongoing collaboration Axo, with Suna Imre a performance dance artist and Hugh Greasley a poet and artist. Each month for a year Suna and I will dance together outdoors in a variety of settings exploring the space and our surroundings. Engaging with nature and our environment through improvised movement, as Hugh films us.

I live and work in Southampton, where, as well as performing I hold movement classes for older people and those living with Parkinson’s disease. I believe our bodies know what they are capable of and I want to encourage people to listen to, and trust, their bodies whatever their situation.

I am a trained Otago Exercise Leader; a worldwide, evidenced-based falls prevention approach recommended by healthcare professionals. I offer classes that will help improve your strength and balance.

I also facilitate workshops, often co-facilitating with other artists. See my Workshops page for upcoming events.
