Andrea Soto, raised in Juarez, is a first-generation Mexican American performer and movement artist whose craft lives in a duality from being a border child, “no soy de aquí, ni soy de allá,” as Chavela Vargas sings. She believes in the body as our truth system.
Her work spans over choreography, performance art and physical theater, and has been shared in Los Angeles and New York. Her pieces live as poetic ecosystems rooted in non-hierarchical systems of making and being and explore the boundaries of human impulses and presence. A graduate from California Institute of the Arts, she is the recipient of the 2024 Barbara Ensley Award on behalf of the Merce Cunningham Trust. Her performances span national and international platforms, and she continues to work as a dancer, performer, and movement director across Los Angeles, New York and London.

“I am honored to have performed at the Performance Mix 37…PMF plays a very inspiring, influential, and unique role in redefining the role of theater and performance art in society. I hope we continue to think about how this festival means so much not only for dance fans/ students, but for art lovers and the general public.”
