Sandra Paola López Ramírez
Sandra Paola López Ramírez (EdM, MFA) is a latinoamericana dancemaker, improviser and performance activist. Her community-based interdisciplinary work plays with gender, identity and sociality, and it has taken her through the U.S., Colombia, Brazil, Cyprus, France, Germany, Denmark, Canada and Mexico. Since moving to the United States from her native Colombia in 2004, she has developed her practice to integrate her creative process and her community organizing efforts. Driven by her commitment to transformation and healing, Sandra Paola co-founded and directs the Institute for Improvisation and Social Action (ImprovISA) – an organization empowering diverse populations to develop through performance and improvisation on the U.S.-Mexico border. She has a vibrant artistic practice grounded on making visible Africana and Indigenous influences in her field and is a committed inclusive educator at the University of Texas at El Paso.
