Texas Latino/a Contemporary Dance Festival

The Pilot Dance Project, under the artistic direction of Adam Castan͂eda, is excited to premiere its newest annual program, The Texas Latino/a Contemporary Dance Festival. Made possible by a Let Creativity Happen! Express Grant from the City of Houston through the Houston Arts Alliance, the inaugural festival will feature new works by both emerging and established choreographers.

In the festival’s closing night program, six Latino/a choreographers share their choreographic offerings. The evening includes new dances from Joel Aguilera Dance Company, Jessica Figueroa, Sarah Sanchez (Nacogdoches, Texas), Paty Lorena Solorzano (Puebla, Mexico), Carlos Perez, and Bonnie Cox (Austin, Texas). Paty Solorzano will facilitate a panel discussion at the end of the program.

Two years in the making, The Pilot Dance Project is thrilled to be offering this opportunity to the state’s vibrant Latino/a choreographic community. “This festival began as a discussion I had with a colleague about all the young Latino and Latina choreographers coming out of the university system,” says Adam Castan͂eda. “I felt there was a need to create something to foster opportunities for the next generation,  and to start a conversation about what our contemporary dance looks like. I know what it’s like to have the need to show work in a field with limited opportunities, so hopefully this can be something that all of us have to work toward every season.”
