ALICIA BAUMAN MORALES
Alicia is an Oakland born Boricua tomboi, dancer, organizer, and interdisciplinary performance maker.
Her performance practice is shaped by turf dance, western modern and contemporary dance, tomboi physicality, house dance, martial arts, kitchen and backyard salsa, spoken work and altar building. Raised on fantastical bedtime stories and cultural organizing, Alicia stands on tall shoulders.
She is or has been a proud performer with Arthur Aviles Typical Theater, NWA Project, Renegade Performance Group, MBDance, Brown Girls Burlesque, Roots and River Productions and PISO Proyecto, and has shown her work across the continental U.S. and Puerto Rico. She has taught with Ailey Arts in Education, Sadie Nash Leadership Project and NYU Tisch Collaboratory and is an organizer with ACRE, Artists Co-Creating Real Equity.
