Vanessa Guevara
Vanessa is a Dancer-Choreographer specialising in contemporary and traditional Mexican and African diaspora dance. She was first introduced to movement at a very young age by her parents who were both yoga teachers at the time. Her passion and curiosity for storytelling and community-related projects led her to perform Mexican traditional dances around the world, sharing her practice to professional dancers, children, senior citizens, young offenders and refugees. She started her professional training as a dancer at the National School of Contemporary Dance in Mexico and continued her training in the USA, Africa and Cuba. She has worked with Jose Agudo, Akram Khan (Opening Ceremony of London 2012 Olympic Games), Vocab Dance, State of Emergency, ACE Dance and Music, Voxed, National Company of Mexico, Heartbeat of Home (Riverdance) and Catherine Young Dance. Vanessa also worked with Gecko theatre company performing in their new show ‘KIN’, at the National Theatre, London, throughout January 2024.
