lisa nevada (b. New México, Chicana, Nuevoméxicana) advocates for our earth mother through her dancemaking, performance, and teaching. Living most of her life in New México, lisa eventually landed in Brooklyn in 2019 where she thrives as a dance and teaching artist. In Lenapehoking (NYC) and beyond, she facilitates movement experiences and performs dances that engage all peoples in the observation of ecosystems and our human interactions to ignite kinship with mama earth, centered on gratitude. She choreographs for experimental theatre & musicals and is continuously mining her personal creations and offerings. Her embodied research and performance delve into the sonic realms of lullaby and wailing in response to humanity’s active destruction of psyche and home. The soils, plants & trees, waters, animals, and insect beings propel lisa’s work while dance remains the sustaining conduit through which she lives and communicates.
