About the project:Stories from Home is a series of dances embodying the oral traditions of Nuevomexicano, Chicano, and Mexican American communities in the American Southwest. Choreographer Yvonne Montoya, a 23rd-generation Nuevomexicana, and an all-Mexican American cast of dancers draw upon personal histories and ancestral knowledge, including stories from Montoya’s great-grandmother, grandmother, great-aunts, and father. With palpable theatricality, moving spoken word, a movement aesthetic informed by vibrant ancestral and contemporary sources, and universal themes of love, family, and home, Stories from Home brings largely underrepresented Southwest Latino American experiences and histories to the stage.Themes in Stories from Home include: The Bracero Program, 1940s Americanization programs, the creation of the Atomic Bomb in Northern New Mexico, family, love, and querencia.
About the company: Safos was founded in 2009 by Yvonne Montoya (Nuevomexicana/Xicana) and Michele Orduña (Tohono O’Odham) to provide a space for dance artists with the aim of moving towards racial, ethnic and geographic equality in dance. Safos’ mission is to create contemporary artistic forms that reflect the common experiences of our diverse community. Focusing predominantly on Latine dance artists, Safos focuses on encouraging innovative movements and embracing the use of aesthetics and art forms unique to the Southwest to represent the cultural diversity of the US/Mexico borderlands.
