ROOTS

ROOTS, is a work in progress. It is a search for connection and research of my roots. Short choreographies inspired by ancestral ritual dances combined with contemporary
dance. It arises from the concept of re-conexión and the need to return to the wisdom of our
roots, to find balance and walk in more harmony with ourselves and the world.

Judith Colibrí

Judith Colibri is a emergent multidisciplinary artist, profesional dancer and choreographer, composer and educational psychologist.

Judith has danced and participated in different national and international festivals from 2014 to date. She currently collaborates as a dancer in Butterflies in spirit, a dance company of Vancouver-based activists, who dance for murdered and missing indigenous women. She has performed in Cuba, Colombia, México, Canada and the US.


In her interest as a creator are issues of social and environmental interest. She has made works that talk about feminicide as a current problem in Latin America, about the massacre of students in Mexico in 1968, but also more hopeful themes such as community, unity, empathy and social transformation through art.


As a teacher she has worked with people of different ages sharing the basics of movement, as a dancer she does different styles of dance: contemporary, afrobeats, pop dance and
improvisation.


For her, dance is a universal language that helps us maintain our physical and emotional health and helps us regain a sense of community.
