Lukas Avendaño was born on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Oaxaca and is of Zapotec ancestry. He developed his arresting style of performance after having studied and presented at a wide variety of programs including: the Pocha Nostra Summer Workshop (Oaxaca), the National Dance Institute’s Teaching Artist Training Program (NYC), Seminar in Theater / Anthropology Relations (Denmark), the 3rd International Congress on Science, Art and Humanities; the 8th Body Theater Conference (Poland). He has also performed in the Czech Republic, France, Quebec and Peru. Lukas has developed a very sophisticated body practice that fuses indigenous shamanic imagery with Buto and a self-styled radical dance vocabulary invented by him. Avendaño embodies the complex identity of muxes, from the Tehuantepec Isthmus where he was born. His performance interweaves ritual dances with autobiographical passages and actions that involve audience members.
