Marsha is currently working on several projects. For such projects there is research, documentation, process-oriented arts creations, and performance. Check out some of the projects below!


Daka Yanuna:
Marsha is in continued excavation to decolonize the mind, body, and spirit. As such she researches ways to understand the impact of colonization, and figuring out ways to decolonize Mother Earth.
Solo Works:

María Ancestral
Marsha has taken the task of delving into her paternal grandmother's history. Through research, interviews, and gaining a better perspective of the historical period in which she lived- Marsha is designing an evening length show based on her grandmother's 17 children. Her abuela was a strong Puerto Rican woman, who lived her whole life in Puerto Rico. The story of María, and those of her offsprings, are stories of resilience, hope, and humor in the face of crisis.
Iterations of the work:
First Iteration: Presented at Judson Church- NYC, February 2018.
Second Iteration: Presented at the School for Contemporary Dance and Thought in Northhampton, MA- as a work in progress, March 2018.
Third Iteration: Presented at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum- MA, March 2018.
Fourth Iteration: To be presented at the Villa Victoria Center for the Arts- MA, December 2018.

Lola Bee
Lola Bee is a work created specifically for the upcoming special exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum: Radical Women: Latin American Art, 1960-1985  
Lola Bee is a multidisciplinary performance based on the concept of Afrofuturism, from an
Afro Boricua perspective. Taking into consideration that slavery and, subsequently- colonialism, were used as tools to control, silence, and subjugate populations- through Lola Bee, I take the opportunity to imagine a hopeful and fantastic future. Lola Bee represents the
power that has been hijacked by slavery and colonialist forces- by incorporating fantasy,
science fiction, and surrealism. 
Lola Bee uses the body as a medium for imagining new possibilities and to denounce social, cultural, and political acts of violence both throughout history and in our contemporary moment.
