BIO

Curet is a Bronx-born dance artist, educator, and birth doula whose work is rooted in the embodied knowledge of the Puerto Rican diaspora. With a practice shaped by migration, memory, and collective care, Curet creates choreography and performance that foregrounds community, resilience, and diasporic futurity. Her research-based, trans-disciplinary work merges contemporary dance with social practice, fieldwork, and healing modalities—often in collaboration with migrant and Afro-Caribbean communities across the Americas.

Currently a PhD candidate at the University of Plymouth, Curet’s choreographic and pedagogical work spans South America, the Middle East, the Caribbean, North America, and Europe. She was the founder and artistic director of Curet Performance Project, a former contemporary dance company; the former coordinator for the Artist of Color Council at Movement Research; and the editor/founder of TiLLT, an online dance magazine. Curet’s work has been supported by the Jerome Foundation, the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, and the CUNY Dance Initiative (2025–2026), among others. In 2024, she was awarded a Community Engagement Grant to develop dance programming with migrant and refugee youth in Alacran, Tijuana, in partnership with UCSD’s Center on Global Justice. She is also a 2025 recipient of the Inter-Grant and Mobile Dance Film Festival grant, CUNY Dance Initiative and the BRIO Award (Bronx Recognizes It’s Own) from the Bronx Council on the Arts.

Performance and choreographic commissions include the 2022 Dancing Futures Artist Residency, 2023 ODDFEST Dance Film Festival finalist, 2024 Move American Short Film Grantee, 2024 EDDIII choreographer, and 2025 San Diego Dance Theatre’s Trolley Dances for Malashock Dance in San Diego. As a performer, Curet has worked with Stanley Love Performance Group, Sally Silvers, BKSoul Dance, and Danza Fiesta: Baile y Teatro Puertorriqueño. She has also danced with San Diego Dance Theater as a community performer.

Curet’s pedagogical practice includes teaching at The Martha Graham School, and guest lecturing at Franklin and Marshall College as well as CUNY BMCC and Lehman College. Her critical dance writing and research have been published in the Movement Research Performance Journal and Critical Correspondence, and she is also the creator of the DiasPOS_US podcast.

A certified yoga instructor (RYT 200) and practicing birth doula, Curet’s approach integrates somatic care and movement as tools for liberation and healing. Grounded in her Puerto Rican heritage, she conducts ongoing fieldwork in Loíza and San Juan, exploring the intersections of ancestral practice, memory, and performance in Afro-Caribbean cultural life.Currently a PhD candidate at the University of Plymouth, Curet’s choreographic and pedagogical work spans South America, the Middle East, the Caribbean, North America, and Europe.
