Welcome back to another season of LNXdance with your Co-Hosts, Marcus & Mari!
We are so honored to bring to you Kiri Avelar, MFA, Interdisciplinary Artist, Educator, and Scholar! An awardee of the Chancellor's Fellow @ucsantabarbara's Theater & Dance Department and a beautiful human inside and out. Kiri is a strong fronteriza artist-scholar from the U.S./Mexico borderlands of El Paso, Texas/Cd. Juárez, Chihuahua. The movement between her cultures in the borderlands, and time lived away from the area, have shaped her interest in accessible, inclusive dance practices anchored in Chicana/Latina feminist epistemologies and border theory. Kiri is a former Jerome Robbins Dance Division Research Fellow for the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, and NYU Teaching Fellow for the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies. Her work has been published in the Journal of Dance Education, Dance Index, Hispanic Outlook on Education Magazine, and the forthcoming anthologies Critical Storytelling from the Borderlands and ¡Somos Tejanas!
