Dana (1999) is an eternal dance of transformation; a product of diverse origins; a distinct thread within the tapestry found on the US-Mexican border. She moves through life to the rhythm and beat of cumbia. It is an echoing heartbeat that defines her journey as a fronteriza. She is an artist because of the way she sees the world and not because of the work that she is paid for. Her purpose lies in deconstructing the fronteriza identity, venturing into the obscure and transformative spaces where dispossession, geography, ritual, and the shadows of violence coalesce. She has performed at the Black Circle Theatre in Holstebro, Denmark; ACUD Macht Neu in Berlin, Germany; Arthaus Berlin International Performance Research Center, and the McAllen Performing Arts Center, amongst other international spaces. She enjoys unfinishedness, mistranslation, multivocality (having multiple voices), ambiguity, and playfulness.
