ALEBRIJE
Presents a series of artistic and educational initiatives that integrate site-specific video dance, participatory methodologies, and contemporary stage creation. Its work lies at the intersection of art, territory, and community. The methodology that guides its work incorporates the following pillars:
1. Transdisciplinarity as a framework for creation
Alebrije’s works combine dance, film, sound art, somatic practices, ecologies of movement, expanded performance, and community dialogue. This convergence of languages promotes experimentation, transdisciplinarity, cultural diversity, and artistic innovation.
2. Site-specific and site-adaptive methodologies
In both its video dance projects and stage productions, Alebrije works from a deep connection with natural, urban, architectural, and social spaces. This approach allows each intervention to adapt sensitively to the characteristics of its environment (open spaces, theater venues, alternative spaces), creating a meaningful dialogue with the territory in which it is situated.
3. Dialogue with Audiences and Participatory Practices
Alebrije’s work prioritizes the creation of experiences that promote the active involvement of participants. Through video dance screenings, master classes, and workshops, the group integrates methodologies of dialogic exchange, mindful observation, listening practices, and co-creation dynamics that enable the collective construction of meaning.
The works included in this proposal have received international recognition, have been selected for video dance exhibitions and festivals in numerous countries, and feature a flexible technical structure that allows them to be presented in both conventional performance spaces and alternative settings.
Video Dance Showcase
+ Q&A with the Audience
This proposal consists of a curated selection of video dance works created by ALEBRIJE, chosen for their thematic relevance, aesthetic quality, and ability to engage with diverse audiences. The works explore ecologies of movement, female bodily expressions, natural and urban landscapes, and transdisciplinary creative processes.
Suggested works:
-
Sympoiesis: Information and a link to the play
-
Compost: Information and a link to the play
-
La Sabina: Information and a link to the play
-
Ángeles de Tierra: Information and a link to the play
-
Jénchekua: Information and a link to the play
-
Parakata: Information and a link to the play
The event concludes with an interactive discussion in which the audience shares their perceptions, reflections, and questions, while the artists explain their creative processes, visual decisions, and physical and cinematographic methodologies.

Theatrical Productions for Alternative Venues
The proposed stage productions employ site-specific and site-adaptive methodologies, allowing them to integrate flexibly into alternative spaces—indoors, outdoors, unconventional venues, or theatrical stages.
Sympoiesis (14 minutos)
Inspired by Donna Haraway’s “The Problem with Continuity,” this piece intertwines corporeality, territory, waste, and emerging life. It combines projection, large-scale paper manipulation, and a dance intervention that transforms the space into a living landscape.
Requirements: smooth floor (minimum 7 m²), HDMI projector, audio system, electrical outlet, and the ability to set up a stage facing one or multiple directions.
Presented by: Rocío Luna and Ana Baer
A choreographic duet that explores female bonds, affective ecologies, and bodily memory. It combines video projection and live dance, using a red string and crepe paper as symbolic elements.
Requirements: smooth floor (at least 8 m²), HDMI projector, auxiliary audio, night mode for open spaces, white wall for projection.
Presented by: Rocío Luna, Ana Baer, and Natalia Reza
Angels of the Earth (11 minutes)
Master Class: Video Dance, Composition, and Collaborative Creation
This master class offers an in-depth introduction to video dance as a hybrid practice that combines dance, filmmaking, and body composition. It includes compositional tools, principles of co-direction, analysis of video clips, and dialogue with participants.
Suggested structure:
-
Brief theoretical overview of contemporary video dance
-
Compositional tools (body, camera, landscape, rhythm)
-
Collaborative process: roles, creative agreements, co-direction
-
Brief screening of excerpts and analysis
-
Open discussion
Duration: 1.5 to 2 hours
Hosted by: Rocío Luna and Ana Baer
