Terreno: antecedentes del evento Rompeforma, cavilación sobre el cuerpo hacia la danza experimental en Puerto Rico

Abstract

The purpose of this essay is to examine the artistic development of Viveca Vázquez; specifically, to present the historical background of the event Rompeforma (1989-1996) or BReaking Forms -a marathon of new dance forms, performance, and visuals (pioneered within the contemporary experimental scene in Puerto Rico). Departing from her experience as co-director and co-producer of this event, the Viveca Vázquez analyzes the manner in which art, in effect, migrates through different "terrains" or "territories" to make political, interdisciplinary, and multicultural exchanges between the United States, the Caribbean, and the rest of Latin America.
