A Bessie award-winning choreographer, Antonio is Artistic Director of Antonio Ramos and the Gangbangers. A queer, HIV+, Puerto Rican artist who was born on the island, his work reflects themes of sexuality, the body, and histories of colonization. Ramos has presented works at the High Line, The Kitchen, Danspace Project, Cornell University’s Schwartz Center for the Performing Arts, Abrons Arts Center, The Chocolate Factory Theater, Judson Church, Dixon Place, JACK, Abrons Art Center, Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance, and Theatre La Chapelle in the Montreal Fringe Festival. He has held artist residencies at Rosin Fund of the Scherman Foundation, Movement Research, Brooklyn Arts Exchange, Djerassi Foundation, Bogliasco Fellowship, Gibney Dance in Process, El Museo del Bario, Cornell University and Laboratorio: Condensación in Mexico. Ramos has been reviewed in the New York Times, Brooklyn Rail, and Stage Buddy. Scholars have written about his work for danceviewtimes, OFFOFFOFF, and infinitebody.
“Performance Mix is such a great resource, and I was really grateful to be supported in presenting two of my works this year! I think the real multiplicity of artists involved in all senses is a continued strength of the program.”
