ESTEBAN ROSALES
CHOREOGRAPHER | DANCER | THEATRE PRODUCTION
I am one person, I am the entire entity. Sometimes I am the artistic director. Sometimes I am simply the performer, the body in space. Sometimes I am in the rafters, in the booth, and behind the scenes. On rare occasions I am two or perhaps all three, but I find it all equally fulfilling.
My movement lives in a realm of internal, disjointed, and mangled qualities, but it also allows itself to be athletic, expansive, and direct as it chooses. The building blocks are my training in hip-hop/street dance forms and postmodern contemporary practices. My body of work is influenced by an element of whimsy, an element of mundane, and at the very minimum, a hint of sex appeal. Through my artistic voice I feel comfort in pushing political boundaries as much as I enjoy saying nothing at all. Such is the hit television program, The Twilight Zone, which dissects the state of our socioeconomic environment, but will also simply beg the question, "what if a man was psychologically tormented by a Sasquatch standing out on the wing of a moving airplane?" for shits and giggles. What I create will always inherently be exquisitely mestizo, and deliciously queer.
