NOMADIS PROMOTIONAL TRAILER
NOMADIS ARTIST SPOTLIGHT - José Manuel Domínguez
Influenced by the latest post-modern aesthetical phenomenon, actor and director José Manuel Dominguez graduated from the Instituto Superior de Artes, Habana, Cuba in 1996 with degrees in Acting and Theater Direction. During the nineties, Domínguez served as dramaturge and actor for avant-garde Cuban company Teatro El Público and participated in workshops and master classes with international artists. Upon his arrival to Miami in 2000, he began developing a career as an independent artist. In 2006, he collaborated with a multidisciplinary team on Hostages of the Arts: Surrender!, an experience that became the foundation for subsequent partnerships with local artists. Future collaborations would include performances, visual arts and film productions. Highlights in his more recent career include in 2010, his solo performance Hilo (Thread). In 2011, he would found the Antiheroes Project, a nonprofit organization that produces and presents artistic projects aiming to increase the inclusion and collaboration between artist with and without disabilities. Since the foundation of Antiheroes, Jose Manuel Dominguez has produced and directed several performance pieces, including Ñaque, o de Piojos y Actores, I See a Sailor Who Sees a Geisha, and Belly Full of Candies. His works have allowed Dominguez to be awarded grants by prestigious institutions for developing such works, including the production of Mahagonny in 2012, a poignant adaptation of Berthold Brecht’s Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny. During the summer 2013, Domínguez was invited to participate as Associate Artist by the Atlantic Center for the Arts with Master Artist Victoria Marks. This experience has been decisive in the conception of Nomadis, the new interdisciplinary piece, and the use of new video techniques as part of its creative resources. Nomadis has been one of the recipients of the NEAR Residency 2013-2014 by North Miami Arts Collective (NOMAC). Dominguez is member of the Board of Directors of several local non-profit organizations, and works for the ACCESS Department at the Miami-Dade College since 2009.
NOMADIS ARTIST SPOTLIGHT - PAOLA ESCOBAR
Paola Escobar, a native of Colombia, has been part of the South Florida dance community since 2006, performing and choreographing contemporary works within the language of Flamenco and modern dance. Before relocating to South Florida, Paola was a company member of L’explose Danza Contemporanea Company (2003 to 2005), known for its work in dance theater, and has toured in Europe, Asia, and Latin America. As a company member, Escobar gained a sense of the dramatic thread, consciousness and raw emotion that later carried through in her own work as a dancer and choreographer.
From 2003 to 2005 Escobar was part of the 34% Visibles, an Afro-contemporary dance project directed by Rafael Palacios which participated in festivals in Canada, Spain and Colombia. Working with Mr. Palacios gave Paola the opportunity to explore the expressive underlying load when taking the body beyond the limit of fatigue. She further explored this concept in her 2007 solo work Viaje de Regreso which premiered in The Colony Theatre, and then presented again at the University Center for the Performing Arts in Broward County, and later in Bogota, Colombia.
Escobar continues to incorporate and blend different dance and theater ideologies to achieve her creative purpose. Flamenco 24 Horas was a trio created in Colombia and re-staged as part of Flamenco in the Sun Festival in 2009 at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. This work blended dance and theater with live music and video to create a story of three women who made Flamenco their lifestyle, despite their non-Spaniard cultures. This project was awarded the National Dance Award in 2005 granted by the Colombian Ministry of Culture.
Through experimentation and improvisation, Paola has been able to constantly expand her movement vocabulary to express her current journey. Flamenco has provided Escobar with a completely different approach to movement (compared with traditional western dance techniques) training Paola in the field of improvisation within the parameters of musical structures.
Escobar has worked as a dancer and choreographer for the local Flamenco Companies as Bailes Ferrer, Siempre Flamenco, and Ballet Flamenco La Rosa performing at the Jackie Gleason Theater, Broward Center for the Performing Arts, Parker Playhouse, Arsht Center Black Box, South Miami Dade Cultural Arts Center, among others. In recent years Escobar has ventured outside the boundaries of dance by becoming a member of the theater group Antiheroes Project; and by collaborating with filmmakers and video directors Claudio Marcotulli, Roberto Garrido,and Cristobal Valencillos, as actress and choreographer.Paola Escobar has a long track as a dance teacher. Currently, she is part of the Miami Dade School Board System as Flamenco and Modern dance instructor. Escobar holds a BFA from New World School of the Arts obtained in 2012.

Nomadis in the words of the Director (and performer) - Jose Manuel Dominguez
(Please scroll down for English translation) Es un misterio, un ejercicio difícil de realizer, la obra más complicada en la que haya trabajado jamás; la única que no se quiere cerrar. (Eso han representado siempre los nómadas para las sociedades: una pregunta en el aire, el miedo a lo diferente, un enigma sin resolver que adquiere formas diversas: un inmigrante, un vagabundo, un viajero, un Gitano, el miembro de una tribu urbana, un beduino en el desierto, un poeta Beat, un adolescente que pasa cada día en la casa de un amigo diferente, cada noche a veces también; Nomadis es un actor que va de una obra a otra, de un teatro a otro, un Quijote, un amante que se vuelve promiscuo en busca del verdadero amor, un paria, un peligro, alguien que nos recuerda lo efímero que es todo por más que la sociedad se empeñe en probarnos lo contrario. Nomadis hala fuerte hacia el vacío, hacia el fin de la illusion, de la nostalgia, de los métodos, para establecerse en tierra de nadie; porque busca algo que, como los nómadas, tal vez nunca encontrará. Sin embargo, en esa búsqueda constante se haya resuelto lo que para otros es un enigma y para los nómadas y para mí, la felicidad. José Manuel Dominguez Junio 8 2014 It is a mystery, a difficult work to realize, the most complicated play which I have ever worked on; the only one that does not want to be finished. To society Nomads have always represented: A question in the air, fear of the unknown, an unsolved puzzle that takes many forms: an immigrant, a wanderer, a traveler, a Gypsy, a member of an urban tribe, a Bedouin in the desert, a Beat poet, a teenager who spends his days and nights in the home of a different friend; Nomadis is an actor going from one site to another, from one theater to another, a Don Quixote, a lover that becomes promiscuous in search of true love, an outcast in danger, someone who reminds us that we can flee all society has to offer to strive and prove for something otherwise. Nomadis pulls strongly into the void, towards the end of illusion, of nostalgia, of ways to settle unclaimed lands; looking for something that nomads perhaps will never find. However, that constant search has resulted in what to others is an enigma and for nomads and myself is happiness. José Manuel Dominguez June 8, 2014

Goicochea continued his studies as an actor in “Umbral Group” with Alberto Isola a highly respected actor and director in Peru and Ana Correa one of the founders and still active members of Peruvian theater ensemble “Grupo Cultural Yuyachkani”. All the experiences as a student with those great teachers gave Goicochea not only important knowledge, but also deep influence in his development as an actor.Fernando Goicochea performed for many theater groups in Peru, including the “TRAM” group from which he was a co-founder. TRAM specialized in the application of “Teatro Clown”, acrobatics and jugglery techniques.
In 1994, he started acting for the TV show “Los de Arriba y los de Abajo”, one of Peru’s most beloved “TV series”.

Goicochea also performed in other shows like “Los Unos y los otros” and “Lluvia de arena”. But “Los de Arriba y los de abajo” brought him not only a great experience as an actor but an opportunity to help his community participating in many conferences about HIV.

He also performed as Abraham Valdelomar, a famous Peruvian poet, in the film “El Amauta” a Cuban-Peruvian co-production.The movie received a special recognition from the Peruvian congress.

When Goicochea came to Miami, he took the Taller para Actores with acclaimed Sandra Garcia, co-founder of the relevant Teatro en Miami Studio. Soon he began working with this collective performing in the plays “Y Diente por Diente” (2012), an adaptation of “Measure for Measure” by William Shakespeare, and “Aromas de Un Viaje” (2013), both written and directed by Ernesto Garcia.

Inspiration: Caño Cristales
Cast member Paola Escobar's memory of a trip to Colombia's other-worldy Caño Cristales in her youth, inspired a euphoric scene which is now called "La Felicidad".
Caño Cristales is a Colombian river located in the Serrania de la Macarena province of Meta. The river is commonly called "The River of Five Colors" or "The Liquid Rainbow", and is even referred to as the most beautiful river in the world due to its striking colors. The river appears in many colors, including yellow, green, blue, black, and especially red caused by the Macarenia clavigera (Podostemaceae) at the bottom of the river.
