Choreography
Full-length narrative ballets, contemporary ensemble works, and intimate studies of character, memory, and human relationship.
Selected works / 2017–present with Mi Familia (2015)
Julianna Rubio Slager creates choreography that moves between theatrical storytelling and abstract composition. Her ballets explore the individual in relationship to the collective, using expressive partnering, sculptural ensemble formations, and movement rooted in character. Her repertoire draws from literature, history, faith, cultural memory, and the experiences of women.
