Blurring the Line Between Arts and Activism
Maura Garcia is a dancer/choreographer who performs, teaches and specializes in participatory, community-based projects. As a Native American woman (Cherokee/Mattamuskeet) who is also of African descent, she fuses her work with cultural imagery and narrative elements. Themes of social justice, cultural identity and the rhythms of the natural world run throughout Garcia’s creations.
