The purpose of this study was to identify several cultural conceptual aspects particular to the physical, psychological, and hence, creative migrations of three Mexican and Mexican American (Chicana) modern dance choreographers' and performers' creative voices as signatures of artistic as well as cultural/political identities. Since little information was available on Mexican or Mexican American women modern dance choreographers and performers, a contextual framework was derived from the critical cultural and analytic traditions of Chicana writers and artists who center their creative work on issues surrounding Chicana voice and identity.

520 $a The purpose of this study was to identify several cultural conceptual aspects particular to the physical, psychological, and hence, creative migrations of three Mexican and Mexican American (Chicana) modern dance choreographers' and performers' creative voices as signatures of artistic as well as cultural/political identities. Since little information was available on Mexican or Mexican American women modern dance choreographers and performers, a contextual framework was derived from the critical cultural and analytic traditions of Chicana writers and artists who center their creative work on issues surrounding Chicana voice and identity.
520 $a The methodology for this research involved connecting to two Latina (Chicana) modern dancemakers who had a repertory of modern concert dance works to study. I included my self within the research since I am a Chicana choreographer and performer familiar with the cultural terrain of the Mexican American experience. By conducting multiple interviews with each dancemaker, engaging in extemporaneous conversations about modern dance as cultural expressive voice, observing modern dance works over time (live and video), through joint concert performance venues, as well as collaborations involving dance improvisations, dancemaking, creative/grant writing, I discovered connections being forged between these three Latina modern dancemakers and their indigenous cultural sources. The Latina Dance Project evolved out of, became central to and hence, informed this research. Through the continual viewing/analysis of a repertory of dance works spanning a period of six years, it was possible to identify a conceptual framework reflective of Mexican and Mexican American cultural traditions.
520 $a Based on physical and psychological distances traveled by each Chicana modern dancemaker, a migratory pattern emerged. Borders emerging from these migrations, based on race, gender, education, and language, constituted for each Latina dancemaker a crossing of sorts and hence, a new cultural twist to the concept of crossing was established. Through the Chicana dancemaking process, I imagine the stage a borderland, making the dance a vessel for the crossing and the performance an embodiment of the borders she encounters.
