Lelis Brito

Project Assistance

Brito is a Venezuelan-American theater director, choreographer, educator, performer, writer and director of the Center for Moving Cultures. As an artist, Brito has performed with local and national companies, creating over 80 original works. The core of Brito’s work is the human body’s potential and activation—the work of clarifying choice-making through the knowledge gained within the direct experience of a moving sensing body. Brito’s recent work explores how to retain one’s cultural body within multiple demands for code-switching. 2021–22 projects include: Choreographer/Director of You Change Me for Northern Spark; The Roles of Queen B and Queenie in the musical QUEEN B and Aurora in Brujeria for Beginners; Co-Curator (with Harry Waters Jr.) of FUTURE NOW series; Srika writing residency in Croatia; Choreographer of A Binding Strangeness; Co-Director of Real Women Have Curves; and ongoing rehearsal and project development with Rosy Simas Danse and Teatro del Pueblo.
