Teresa Trujillo is a Uruguayan dancer, actor, choreographer, performing arts specialist and political activist.[1] She has created dance and other performances in South America, Europe, and the United States.
Trujillo was born on April 4, 1937, in the Pocitos barrio of Montevideo, Uruguay7.[2] Trujillo began dancing at an early age. She studied ballet under Tamara Grigorieva until joining the Elsa Vallarino dance group.[2] Trujillo also studied music at the Kolischer Conservatory.
In 1962, Trujillo moved to New York to study modern dance from Martha Graham and Jose Limon.[2] In 1964, she completed her academic training at the Schola Cantorum in Paris. Trujillo then joined the Karin Waehner company, and began choreographing dances.[3] she began experimenting with music, dance, and painting to create a multidisciplinary act.[2]
By 1966, Trujillo was back in Uruguay. During this period, he found her work censored by the government of Jorge Pacheco Areco, which did not appreciate modern dance. In 1972, Trujillo left the country, spending time in Argentina, Chile, Cuba, Venezuela and Spain. In 1985, after the end of the military dictatorship, she returned to Uruguay.[3]
In the 1990s, Trujillo switched from dance to theatre work, teaching at University of Music . She received up a degree from the Eutonia of Buenos Aires, where she would later teach.
ActivismEdit
In the 1960s Trujillo, Graciela Figueroa, Isabel Gilbert and curator Angela Lopez Ruiz created a piece titled Gender and Dance Studies in Pioneers of Action Art I. It aimed to show the experiences of Uruguayan women by using their testimonies and archives.[4]
Moreover, Trujillo's activism extends to the evolution of dance and freedom of expression, something that was heavily censored in Uruguay due to the dictatorship.[5] In an interview with Laura Sand of Voyart, Trujillo explains that freedom was the biggest motivator of dance, and that her body is dance, indicating the liberating nature she achieves from dance.[5]
