I’ve been listening a lot to Natalia Lafourcade’s Musas albums and Los Folkloristas while creating this piece. It’s still not done, but I’m hoping to make it my semester’s work. I don’t really know where I’m going with this, but hopefully end product is amazing . . . #art #traditionalart #arte #oilpainting #brownunderpainting #wip #folklorista #folklorico #folkloricodancers (at South Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2phzeBAk1g/?igshid=bu9w3xxx3ttw

Dance Groundwork.

Shoot w/ Felicia Avalos. Bronx, NYC/2018

These are the shots you want to get right. A small constant in my head while I was shooting Felicia. This day was a rare occasion – a photographer friend of mine, was moving out of his Bronx apartment, trading it in for Queens. The Bronx apartment was vacant and spacious enough to be a small dance studio. The location was right across a massive DJ Kool Herc mural - a reminder that something great started here and working with Felicia, I knew I was capturing something beyond my friend the dancer. I captured a composer of narrative, a storyteller through movement.

I met Felicia in Washington DC about 9 years ago – and in between the time of this shoot and leading up to her move to NYC, she spent her time working with several dance groups, nationally and internationally, toured overs seas and to my knowledge, had to get an extension booklet for her passport. She came back stateside sometime around 2015 to get her MFA at George Washington University and shortly after hit the road again and landed in New York City. In her short time, she has had the privilege of performing at Jacob’s Pillow, New Victory Theater on Broadway, IsSanat Theater in Istanbul, and the legendary Apollo Theater in Harlem. I remember prompting her, how do you work? When you conceptualize a piece, what do you build with and what do you use to inspire the work? At the core, its her family, background and Mexican heritage – what lit up for me to capture was the dancer that came to the big city and did not pull back on her mission to tell stories that matter. In 2019 I had the opportunity to see one her works – Las Pizcas an excerpt from the full length work The Beast: A Daughter’s Document of an Undocumented Journey which was presented as a thesis project at The George Washington University. This excerpt follows Avalos’s father when he worked as a migrant farm worker picking fruits and vegetables in California.

I didn’t manage to get everyone’s social tags, but the character design course by @chrisablesart was very insightful. Towards the end we were given a small brief to draw a Mexican dancer applying the principles discussed in the course. Time lapse will posted to my reel. 🧜 #characterdesign #folklorico #folkloricodancer #mexicanfolkdance #visualdevelopment #conceptart #procreate #digitalart https://www.instagram.com/p/CTb5XSQqbGS/?utm_medium=tumblr

We had a blast performing during last Sunday’s 6th annual Menudo Cook-Off put on by the Druids lodge #56 of Bakersfield in old town Kern. ABOVE: The talented youth of @folklorico_escuelas_unidas kicked off the day in festive style then Mento Buru and @djprtyboy brought the ritmos til’ closing. New beginnings, new community partnerships 👍🏽😀 #mentoburu #bakersfield #druidsbakersfield #eastbakersfield #menudocookoff #menudocookoff2019 #folkloricodancing #localmusic #community #comunidad (at Druids Lodge) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw4u3bDAyJB/?igshid=47slxjyfk43h
