Introducing: Ni más / ni menos

What’s in a title?

It’s the first entry point into a work—it shapes how we interpret what we see and hear, how we assign meaning to sound and movement.

Many of you know I love words. I love thinking about embedded meanings and layered interpretations—how a word sounds, how it feels in the mouth. Words are music. Words are symbols.

So when I choose a title, it’s deeply connected to the creative process and how I want to frame the experience of the work.

Felise Bagley and I are working on a new show titled Ni más / ni menos—Not more / not less. One of the earliest themes we explored was the idea of fault lines—fractures just beneath the surface. Issues we ignore until they rupture, creating chaos and shock. Often the signs of cracks were always there. Maybe, if we’d paid attention, we could have addressed them before the break. But often, we don’t.

The movement we created—and the movement that revealed itself to us—brought up new emotions and deeper questions: about capacity, endurance, and boundaries. When do we draw the line, and why? When is too much really too much? And when is not enough, truly not sufficient? Ni más / ni menos.

And that slash? It’s not just punctuation—it is the fault line. Subtle. Unspoken. But always present.

Just like words, choreography carries layered meaning—it must be felt, heard, and interpreted.

I’ll be sharing more about our process in the coming months, but for now, I’m excited to reveal our first poster for Ni más / ni menos.

The premiere is scheduled for the weekend of November 21st—mark your calendars and stay tuned!
