CUERPX focuses on the imprints of colonialism and patriarchy in the body. We are looking at the body as the human body, and also the Earth body. How do we embody liberated realities? How does that look like within the context of colonized bodies? What is the work we need to do to get to an internal liberated space that leads to collective liberation?
Danza Orgánica is a Boston-based dance theater company whose work is centered around equity, social justice, and decolonization. Through Danza Orgánica, we create the world we want to live in as BIPOC. Our values are rooted in antiracist social justice, and decolonization. We envision a world where all living beings are valued, and Mother Earth is in balance. Our legacy is one of opening doors for others, creating spaces for artistic expression, and leaving a body of work carefully created to shed light upon our human experience, and that of our collaborators.
