CatherineMarie Davalos makes dances questioning heteronormativity using a feminist, Latina, and Chicana perspective. The Davalos Dance Company performs regularly in the Bay Area and also in Italy; their latest work, Radical Acts of Love has been well-received by both local and international audiences. Davalos is the Director of Dance at Saint Mary’s College. She holds an MFA in Dance from CSU Long Beach and is certified in the Bill Evans pedagogy method. Davalos teaches a modern dance class based on those somatic principles and her Humphrey-Limón training while synthesizing it with her own contemporary movement invention.
