ABOUT Diana Lara
Diana Lara is an artist whose dance is a living testament to migration, memory, and resistance. The Honduran choreographer, dancer, and somatic educator invites us to explore, through movement, the traces left on the body by displacement, colonialism, and gender oppression.
A 2002 graduate of the prestigious Center for Choreographic Research at Mexico's National Institute of Fine Arts, her career has bridged the gap between Honduras, Mexico, and the United States. Her work, deeply rooted in Latinx culture, fuses contemporary dance, contact improvisation, and somatic education, creating pieces that have resonated on stages in Central America, Berlin, and the San Francisco Bay Area.
But her art transcends the stage. Her commitment to healing and community has led her to share her knowledge with survivors of domestic violence, victims of forced displacement in Mexico, and indigenous Lenca women in Honduras. Furthermore, her training as a general practitioner allows her to approach the body not only as an instrument of expression, but also as a territory of care and transformation.
Don't miss this interview to learn more about her inspiring work, where dance becomes an act of resistance, a space for healing, and a powerful vehicle for cultural preservation.
EN ESPAÑOL
Diana Lara es una artista cuya danza es un testimonio vivo de la migración, la memoria y la resistencia. La coreógrafa, bailarina y educadora somática hondureña nos invita a explorar, a través del movimiento, las huellas que dejan en el cuerpo el desplazamiento, el colonialismo y la opresión de género.
Graduada del prestigioso Centro de Investigación Coreográfica del Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes de México en 2002, su trayectoria ha tejido un puente entre Honduras, México y Estados Unidos. Su obra, profundamente enraizada en la cultura latina, fusiona danza contemporánea, improvisación de contacto y educación somática, creando piezas que han resonado en escenarios de Centroamérica, Berlín y el Área de la Bahía de San Francisco.
Pero su arte trasciende el escenario. Su compromiso con la sanación y la comunidad la ha llevado a compartir su conocimiento con mujeres sobrevivientes de violencia doméstica, víctimas del desplazamiento forzado en México y mujeres indígenas Lencas en Honduras. Además, su formación como médica general le permite abordar el cuerpo no solo como instrumento de expresión, sino también como territorio de cuidado y transformación.
No te pierdas esta entrevista donde podrás conocer más sobre su inspiradora labor, donde la danza se convierte en un acto de resistencia, un espacio de sanación y un poderoso vehículo para la preservación cultural.
ABOUT INDÓMITAS
Indómitas is a live podcast series hosted by Chelis López of KPOO and Radio Bilingüe, featuring interviews with fierce women artists and activists
Each month in Brava’s Cabaret, Indómitas will interview female singers, writers, poets, activists, artists, journalists, filmmakers, and others – some well-known and some deserving to be – for live broadcast. These 60-minute conversations will cover the women’s stories of achievement, pitfalls, and hopes for their futures.
Be ready for open and honest conversations, where intimacy fosters the sharing of joy, fear, acceptance, and ultimately, the strength of women. It’s our time to be the ones who narrate our stories of who we are, what we do, what matters to us and how we organized and stand up for our rights.
Indómitas Podcast Series will be available through Chelis López’ website, and other platforms.
