Event Background:<\/strong><\/p>\nIn 2016, I put my dreams into action by programming an evening of performance art for La Sala Latinx Artists Network\u2019s \u2018La Cocina\u2019 in Pioneer Square. I co-curated “On the Edge: Latinx Performance Art Festival,” with Lauren Davis, Assistant Director at ArtXchange Gallery. This collaborative project was the first all-Latinx night of performance art. The Festival led to us becoming part of university curricula across the globe when Marvin Carlson mentioned our event in Routledge’s textbook “Performance: A Critical Introduction,\u201d \u201cThere is a growing body of…artists who specifically identify themselves as Latinx, headed by…Xavier Lopez…featured in the first festival of Latinx performance, held at the Good Arts center…in Seattle… Latinx represents an important orientation in modern performance… concern(ed) with developing more inclusive and flexible attitudes toward designations of gender, race, and ethnicity…addressing this major reorientation of the field.”<\/p>\n
The first On the Edge Festival was a one-night event, small but expansive, dedicated to serving Seattle and the Seattle Latinx community, giving voice to local Latinx Artists presenting work that is rarely seen in our communities. Our night of performance was fundamentally Latina\/o\/x, and part of a larger conversation currently redefining the nature of Latino performance moving forward. The second edition of On the Edge is fully-funded and scheduled for June 2020 and will be hosted by the Seattle Office of Arts & Culture at the historic King Street Station.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
