Capítulo 021: On this episode of Ocu-Pasión we are joined by Dancer and Performance Artist Salomé Egas. Listen in as we discuss exploring intersectional identities, action driven artwork, and venturing beyond the traditional theatre landscape to engage with audiences head on. 

SALOMÉ EGAS is an Ecuadorian mestiza performer, educator and entrepreneur who is permanently questioning her identity through dance, theater, film and textile arts.  As a solo performer and a member of The New Latinx Art Collective, Salomé incorporates radical self-love and indigenization as tools to empower the ancestral knowledge carried by femme bodies of color. Her solo “Reflejo'' has been supported by The Greenwich Arts Council (2021), The Immigrant Artists Biennial (2021) and the Exponential Festival (2020); her solo “(Up)rooted”  was commissioned by Skidmore College’s Tang Museum (2019). She’s performed nationally at Abrons Arts Center, LaMama, Dixon Place, NYTW, Joe’s Pub, among others. Internationally, Salomé has performed in Ecuador, Venezuela, Cuba, Argentina and Canada. She participated in 2019-20 Creative Capital’s Latinx Artist Workshop and EmergeNYC (2018). 

As an arts educator, Salome has taught and created curriculums in Dance, Theater and Spanish for different public and private institutions in NYC and Ecuador. Salomé recently started dabbling in Bilingual Children’s Literacy and is happy to release her first children’s book in March 2022! She is also the founder of “BY SALO,” an online brand that focuses on making sustainable clothing and accessories through recycled, upcycled and/or hand-sewn, hand-dyed materials. 

Salomé obtained a Master’s in Performance, International Education and Mythologies from NYU (2018), and a Dance-Theater degree from Skidmore College (2014).
