Marsha Parrilla / Danza Orgánica

 Repertoire

Periplo 
(2012) This piece depicts different scenarios of human migration, and the complexities that human beings encounter when venturing new territories.


Do I Look "Illegal"?  
(2011) 
A one-woman-show that explores and challenges the philosophies behind the controversial immigration laws in the United States of America. 

Bajo Mi Piel- The Concert  (June 2011) A full evening length dance concert with Marsha Parrilla/Danza Orgánica, exploring what happens when lived experience gets under the skin. 

FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

The pieces in this concert give expression to human 
experiences lived subliminally: hidden from public 
view, under the boot of oppression, or beneath our own 
consciousness. The title Bajo Mi Piel – “under my skin” 
– asks how such experiences get under our skin and 
change us, and by changing us, enable us to act on the 
world.

Raíces I/II, and Tempo (2011) are short statements that 
elicit the roots of our cultural repertoire. Marea (2011) 
explores the magic, delight, and self-discovery found 
in romantic partnerships. Adentro (2011) delves into 
difficult relationships, where words are not enough, and 
time to heal is required to move forward.

After intermission, the concert shifts from a focus on 
the interpersonal to our relationship with the world 
around us. Lucha Libre (2010) is an interactive piece 
created in protest of Arizona's SB 1070. Bajo Mi Piel 
(2009) is a reflection on the epidemic of femicide and 
rape experienced by women in Juárez, Mexico, who 
work in maquiladoras. Japón (2011) is a contemplative 
statement in solidarity with those in Japan whose 
lives were so dramatically changed by the tsunami and
nuclear disaster in March of this year. Finally, Lysis 
(2010) delves into the dream world to explore the idea of 
collective unconsciousness: the angst, joy, and unnamed 
subconscious experiences that tie us together in our 
historical moment.
