As a visually impaired, Costa Rican-American choreographer of Miskito and Garifuna heritage, Christopher “Unpezverde” Núñez creates evocative work on themes of disability, immigration, and indigeneity. His career includes a BESSIE Award nomination and a spot on Art in America’s “New Talent” list. His work has been recognized and supported by numerous fellowships, grants and residencies, and presented by major institutions such as Performance Mix Festival, The Kitchen, Jacob’s Pillow, Danspace Project, Movement Research at the Judson Church, the Leslie-Lohman Museum, Princeton University, The Joyce Theater, The Immigrant Artist Biennale-Brooklyn Museum, and The Lincoln Center, among others.
“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.”
