Como Mujeres

Como Mujeres/As Women

Conflux Dance Theater

The 1950s are often viewed as a period of conformity when women were held under strict gender roles and complied with society’s expectations. It’s 2023, and women continue to face barriers, and challenges based on sex, gender, and age. This work explores portrayals of “ideal femininity” pressures, societal pressure of getting married, the interracial true love story of Mildred and Richard Loving, and the slow progress of women.

This work is dedicated to Tina Ramirez, a dear friend, a trailblazer, and founder of Ballet Hispanico of New York, and to the powerful women in my life who have taught me never to allow society’s expectations to dictate my life & dreams.
