Artistic Statement

Hurricane Calvin was shaking the coasts of Colima when I was born. As I grew up and saw how my personality contained gale force energy, a part of me felt that a hurricane should bear my name. My deeply held secret desire was quelled by my knowledge that so often they hurt people, which wasn´t in line with my being.

As an actor, I take in the warmth and frigidity that constitute the atmospheric realities of the human experience and spew forth a whirlwind of emotion. My art emits booming thunderous rage, bright passionate lightning, and surrounds the audience in a warm tender rainshower of feelings. In order to achieve this, I maintain the silence and placid peace of the eye of the storm through my focus. In each performance, there is a commitment to social justice that moves me as a woman and artist. Through theater and film, my greatest mission is to raise my voice for all those who are often so easily misunderstood, ignored, or maligned, turning each role into a clarion call alerting community members to come together.

In 2015, again in my hometown of Colima, a tropical storm came barreling towards the coast. My elation in learning that the storm was named Patricia and had been upgraded to a hurricane, was dashed upon learning that it was predicted to be the most powerful in history to date. However... there were no fatalities! It was at that moment I realized and fully embraced the uniqueness and fullness of the potency in how I practice my craft.

I utilize the intensity of my nature in a manner that, through trained precision, orients the totality of the direction of my winds to envelope the audience in the coziness of their home as they take in a captivating experience.
