Sasha Vega

I’m an artist who uses movement, poetics, and humor to invite focus into the ideologies that train bodies how to move. Creating across time-based media, performance, and writing, my practice encourages critical play in reframing genres of embodied instruction. My own body is imprinted by: American dance theater, Filipino karaoke parties, a Bolshoi ballerina, immigrant parents, suburban aspirations, Post-Modern chance forms, and slapstick comedy. Working in concert with performers and audiences alike, I’m invested in devising experimental spaces to test beliefs of authority, horizontal organization, and temporary utopias.
