exit strategy undulates through tandem worlds of myths and memories, edging on feelings of frustration, glory, and resistance. It is defined by raw expression as the dancers embody their shadow and subconscious selves. It contrasts with a simultaneous dance based on the "Skeleton Woman” myth, an Inuit poem retold in Clarissa Pinkola Estés’ "Women Who Run with the Wolves."
exit strategy is devised by Andrea Muñiz in collaboration with movement artists Erica Codd García, Ana G Delgado Cruz, BaÅŸak Sıla Bengisu, Maude A Warshaw, and musician Daniel Nerger.

Movement Portrait: Palatial Ranch Project (2024)
Palatial Ranch Project is devised as a movement portrait of Charles Dietrich surrounding his experience of clearing out his parents' home, uncovering childhood memories, and processing grief. The choreographer, Andrea, worked collaboratively with Charles to generate the material through interviews and task-based improvisational scores. Presented at NACHMO Boston, March 2024.
​
This is the first in a series of movement portraits. I am interested in presenting the stories of real people, not just dancers, through dance and text, much like photographers do with their subjects. I envision this as a long-term project, creating only a few a year throughout my career. It is a durational-compositional inquiry of how I observe, interpret, and represent people's stories and movements through time. Ultimately, I aim to create a body of work that encompasses a wide range of stories told by non-dancers, and that can also serve as a compass for my artistic progression.

en ruinas (2020)
Borikén has battled against colonization since the year 1493 when the Spanish colonizers threatened the island. In 1508, Ponce de León established Caparra, turning the marsh into the first colonial settlement on the island. Today the site has been converted into an archeological site next to the Museum of the Colony. Throughout the years the colonial status has left many parts of Puerto Rico in ruins. In this dance film, through improvisation, I touch on the absurdity, destruction, and abandonment that the institutions that run our land have caused.
