| Mission 
              and philosophy(statement by Carla Barragan, Birlibirloque's 
              director)
 Blending 
              the talent and art of other artists into my work is alchemy, and 
              the most exciting moment during my choreographic process. It continuously 
              refreshes my own language of movement and inspires me. Collaboration 
              became a goal in my work as I continued to work with new people 
              in each city I lived during the last ten years. Artists are channels 
              of information. When two artists create together the result is a 
              totally original and innovate art.  
              My inclination is to break boundaries and work with artists blending 
              medias in order to enrich the resulting work of art. I adopted this 
              purpose in my art because I needed to explore more than pure movement 
              and also understood audiences that believe modern dance is inaccessible. 
               Birlinirloque in Education One 
              important path that Barragan is solidifying at the moment is arts 
              in education. Birlibirloque's repertory will soon be accesible to 
              residencies and assemblies for schools, and its content will be 
              age and EARL's appropriatte.     |  | Style Birlibirloque's work reflects society's events, emotions, and aesthetics 
            through an artistic language based on dance. When Birlibirloque collaborates 
            with other artists it provides a thorough marriage of the art forms 
            to the audience. Barragan's style is an eclectic combination of the 
            postmodernist North American and Latin American currents, defining 
            its own movement style with principles of Limon, Release and gymnastics. 
            Her work fluctuates between dance-theater and abstract dance. In the 
            first one, she creates characters and movement from human beings' 
            emotions, and in the second one she uses movement to create texture 
            with which she unfolds a form of visual art, using the full stage 
            as a canvas.
