Geografía is a contemporary dance collective in Austin, Texas, that centers social justice
and the Latinx experience. Co-directed by Bonnie Cox and Erica Saucedo, Geografía aims
to produce and curate dance experiences that are driven by individual and collective
embodied geographies. Through festivals, performances, and immersive dance
productions, Geografía creates a community of dance artists that celebrate the minutiae
of Latinx cultures from a uniquely Texan perspective. Geografía produced a Latinx
Contemporary Dance Festival in 2019 in Austin and 2020 in San Antonio. At these
festivals, dozens of Latinx artists from all over Texas came together to share their work.
Geografía's previous works have questioned Latina stereotypes, grappled with the 2019 EL
Paso shooting evoked La Cucaracha as an avatar, and drew links between the spirit of
tequila and fertility. In December 2023, Geografía will produce an immersive dance show
at a historical mansion in Sequin, Texas, that honors the ancestors through embodied
rituals. In the post-pandemic era, Geografía seeks to host an annual dance festival for
established and emerging social justice-focused artists in Texas.
