Description: tlallin_______________ntlalli is the nahuatl or Aztec word for earth, soil, and the planet. This dance explores themes of rebirth, death, labor, collectivity, and connection to the ground. The work is also inspired by the mesoamerican story of Quetzalcoatl (feathered serpent god) and the Five Suns, as well as Gloria Anzaldua's theoretical frameworks on feminism and mestizaje. The dancers employ contemporary floorwork and cumbia. This work is the first iteration and exploration of my next project
