Alberto Velasco

Hi, I’m Alberto. I’m an artist, and even though it’s hard for me to write that word without the imposter syndrome, it’s the truest reflection of my nature. I come from dance, theater, dance-theater, some television and film, the multidisciplinary arts, and I’m driven by the desire to create an honest expression in everything I do. I use whatever is necessary to convey what moves through me, transforming it into art that makes us feel just a little less alone in this hostile yet beautiful world we live in I try to keep evolving, in constant transformation and contradiction. Most likely, by the time you read this, it will no longer reflect who I am. Or maybe it will.

Residency project

Once, I had a dream: A ballet for people with bodies like mine. A ballet of fat bodies. But a BALLET ballet. Not a mockery of ballet through fat bodies, which is what they’re often used for on stage. Nor the exotic or singular within a normative ensemble. Using the beauty of those bodies to re-code the language of classical/contemporary ballet and glorify them. Then that dream merged with another: Choreographing Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring. Later, those two dreams became one: SACRESIZE. A ballet of fat bodies inspired by Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring. Now we’re going to make it a reality. The time is now.
