Alicia S│nchez is a pioneering Latin American contemporary dancer and founder of Alicia S│nchez y Compania: El Teatro de Movimiento. She developed a style called "theatre of movement" that uses the dramatic effect of movement to convey emotion and narrative in dance. Her company has performed internationally and she is considered one of the most influential artists in Mexico in the 20th century. This document describes her 65-minute performance piece that uses the bodies of seven dancers to explore humanity's relationship with technology through a visual and theatrical style.
