is a Mexican-American multidisciplinary performance artist from Phoenix, Arizona. Infatuated by dance performances at 14 years old, he would pursue a BFA in Dance at Arizona State University where he'd discover a passion for dance as a profound art.

​

As a performer, his training stems from street forms including locking, vogue femme, house, and popping. While at ASU, he took it upon himself to expand his training in forms previously less familiar to him which included Postmodern Contemporary techniques, Classical Ballet, and Commercial Jazz. He is currently dancing for Safos Dance Theatre, The Ladies, Weird & Wonderful, Depth Dance, and The Pachanga Collective - a collective of dance makers which he co-founded with Ruby Morales, and Zakiya Rose Johnnson.

​

As a choreographer, he prioritizes abstract composition as much as performance quality. He loves to draw inspiration from existential nihilism, glamour and absurdity. He is honored to have presented work professionally for the Phoenix Blaktinx Dance Festival, Ten Tiny Dances at Taliesin West, nueBOX's SEED Residency, and Third Space Dance project's many performance festivals.

​

Esteban is also a professionally trained lighting board operator, designer, and electrician. He learned the basics from the Dance program at ASU and has furthered his growth working at Tempe Center for the Arts, Arizona Theatre Company, Southwest Ballet Theatre., and most recently, Phoenix center for the Arts. Although lighting is his biggest passion amongst the technical realm of theatre, he is also well versed in stage managing, audio/visual, costume design,  and fly rails. You can guarantee he will throw something a little extra into his own dance works with his knowledge of the proscenium stage.

​

He is grateful to his mentors Mary Fitzgerald, Eileen Standley, Nicole Bradley Browning, Liz Lerman, Melissa Britt, and Carolyn Koch, for helping him cultivate his artistic voice and for setting him up for success during the early stages of his career.
