Dia de los Muertos Ceremony

Come and Celebrate
Dia de los Muertos Ceremony

Mujeres Unidas will be having:

La Memoria del Camino/ The Memory of the Path

Wednesday from 12 - 1pm in Toyon Meadow


A human installation/performance’s to honor and remember all women, men, children, and living things, whose lives have been taken while crossing political and social boundaries. Performance public art serves to contribute to the community identity that inhabit and use the common space, by creating and contributing to the collective memory. The collective memory will take shape through the act of remembering and honoring the people who have died while crossing boundaries. Through this performance we will collectively strengthen our community identity and encourage the idea of complimentary dualities, by giving life to those who are no longer here physically.

MISSION

The mission of Cuauhtemoc Mitote Dance Company is to foster, create, and perform new and dynamic dance-based work which utilizes experimentalism, and embodied histories to produce Mitote* about timeless and current cultural issues.


We are based in a traditional and contemporary dance practice, stemming from Danza Azteca, Two-Spirit and LBGTQ, Voguing, Latina/o, and Classic American dance cannons.


*Mitote: Nahuatl (Aztec) meaning "dance, dancing, gathering, event/happening, dreaming the future/present/past--dancing it into existence".

Cuauhtemoc Peranda
Cuauhtemoc is a quare, indigenous, xicano dancer, choreographer, traditional and contemporary artist, and writer. He is from Santa Cruz California--but he considers himself from the Bay Area generally. His work, Choreography, explores pure-unadorned steps, shapes, forms, and rhythms gathered from ancestral memory, and tends to hold themes and issues of race, gender, sexuality, sub- & Counter- Culture. He holds an MFA in Dance from Mills College, and a BA in Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity from Stanford University. His current project is developing Mitote-- a Dance form which merges contemporary and traditional dance practices, blurring the lines between ritual and performance, but in a modern sensibility. Mitote is an mix of Inter-tribal Dance, Jazz, Ballet, Modern&Post-Modern Dance, Contemporary Dance, Aztec Dance, and Voguing
