Danza Orgánica is a Boston-based Contemporary
Dance Theater company founded in 2007, by Puerto Rican artist Marsha Parrilla.
Danza Orgánica unfolds societal issues through intensive research and collaboration, and embodies these findings to create challenging and honest dance theater. DO reaches within
the ordinary and extraordinary movements of the body- to produce complex, refreshing, and engaging dance-theater performances. We transcend
disciplines, combining different art forms, while still retaining a primacy for
dance and movement.
Danza Orgánica is a process and performance-based
company. As part of our community engagement we are available for workshops,
master classes, and performance series for the community. Danza Orgánica is
also a touring company. For bookings, contact: danzaorganica@gmail.com
Mission
We are intrepid and resilient. We take risks and dance
stronger together. We strive to leave our community better than we inherited it.
We are in solidarity with underrepresented voices that face the “isms”. Love
and social justice are our foundation. We rewrite
our stories through creative movement that de-colonizes our bodies and reinvents
our way of experiencing the world.
Danza Orgánica supports women’s rights. We bring this to light with our annual festival: We Create!
Celebrating Women in the Arts.
Vision
Through dance-theater, Danza Orgánica envisions
an equitable society free of oppression. We provide educational and
performance opportunities for the community through workshops, lecture
demonstrations, and our annual festival. We engage in meaningful
collaborations, and work directly with the community through intentional partnerships. We
honor process as the key element in our creative work, and share all stages of
our creative process with the community.
“Danza Orgánica is bountiful in its joy, trenchant in its commentary, and spiritual in the stillness within the movement.” Pamela Thayer
