La Mezcla is a polyrhythmic San Francisco based dance and music ensemble rooted in Chicana, Latina and Indigenous traditions and social justice. Its founder, Vanessa Sanchez, spoke with us about the process of developing the company's latest work Ghostly Labor, a film and soon-to-be dance theatre piece that explores the history of labor in the US Mexico Borderlands. We spoke about the extensive research and development of the work, rhythmic crafting and hybridization and capturing clean sound when you're surrounded by traffic and farm equipment.
Ghostly Labor will screen as a part of SFDFF's Raising Voices on Thursday, November 3rd at 7PM at the Roxie Theater. More information can be found at this link:
