"I think it is important to give space to alternative body states on stage and celebrate them as visceral denials of the externally and internally imposed imperatives to achieve and to draw a contrast with the logic of hyperactivity by presenting an alternative kind of energy and strength. My aim has always been to create a counter proposal to today’s popular culture by going beyond the able, vigorous, high performance and aesthetic body and furthering the notion of what dance can be." - in Dunce IV

"To publish through the body, whether our own or others’, is to harness existing, moving energy for communication. It’s not linear nor does it follow a pattern, it’s unpredictably messy and vivid. The body itself transcends fixed categories. It resists being fully inclusive or exclusive. The only real filter for a bodily message is the body itself. Existing in public space, it moves through randomness and chance encounters." -Carlo Canún. Body of Text, Dunce IV. 💥

"Themes like conviviality, hospitality, and food as a chronicler have deeply inspired me. But what draws me into food is the potential for what I call “the radical experience”—moments when taste, smell, sound, and sensation open pathways for critical thinking and self-reflection." 🍲🌱

"In response to the upcoming edition of Sequences, we will focus on MASA (corn dough) and its pre-colonial legacy. From fermentation and grinding to sculpting and tasting, we envision masa not merely as food, but as a sensorial, ritualistic pilgrimage—nourishing both body and spirit, and celebrating food as a performative experience and living matter."
