Alicia Raquel Morales is a genderqueer Boricua dancer & artist, from Oakland & South Berkeley, CA & Maricao, PR, now living in Brooklyn– Lenape land.
Their work has been described as sexy, nerdy & spiritual.
Alicia grew up dancing outside, building altars & steeped in stories that straddled “real” & unseen worlds. She is a child of street dance.
Alicia is a former Dancing Futures & Skylab resident artist, CulturePush fellow & BAAD! Muse.
They have danced with Johnnie Cruise Mercer/TRPNYC, Arthur Aviles, consulted with Roots & River Productions (2017), and Sharon Bridgforth’s bull-jean/we wake (2023).
Alicia brings a cultural organizing lens to educational spaces, including as co-director of NYU”s mainstage production, Poverty Archive: Box 1 (2023) and a decade plus of work as an arts educator.
Their current work–CROWNING, or how to change shape while remembering your name–is a pandemic baby, a dance, game, and mythbuilding extravaganza, following city waterways back to open ocean.
