Daniela Garcia-Arce(she/her) and Gabby Gubitosi (he/they) are both freelance artists, currently working in the education department of New York City Ballet. They create work that reflects their shared ancestry through colonization and reconcile with generational trauma by exploring the similarities between their Mexican and Filipino heritages. They celebrate their cultures, families, queerness, and the pieces of home they find in each other. They have performed “The Body of Mangoes (Deliver Us to Evil)” at Waxworks 2023. They are both 2022 graduates from Eugene Lang College at The New School with BA’s in Contemporary Dance and Gabby with a double degree in Politics.
