Kat Sotelo is a first-generation Filipinx American performance artist, choreographer, and set designer whose practice blends movement, satire, and constructed environments. She explores the body as a site of commerce, using her experience in exotic dance to examine fantasy, cultural hybridity, and the labor of spectacle. With roots in film, Sotelo’s compositions also integrate elements of cinema to create layered realities. By weaving video, personal archives, and Philippine folk traditions, she critiques the commodification of art and identity with kaleidoscopic visions. She lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
I AM THE BEST SLUT IN TOWN is a fever dream, a Filipino soap opera, a doo-wop-soaked battle for stardom. With an effervescent, ravenous appetite, a maniacal trio whirls in sugary pop choreography, CCTV video feeds, and desperate pageantry, captivating the audience with dewy-eyed fervor and an impulse to destroy. Sexuality becomes cultural currency, flashing between seduction and satire as the performers push themselves toward impossible perfection.

“Performance Mix Festival has its own life, and Karen and the staff continue to evolve with the times in a way I appreciate…it was tremendous to be a Liftoff AIR and then get to show the work I had continued to explore as an AIR a year later at PMF!”
