Gerardo Tristan Alvarado
Gerardo Tristan Alvarado is Nahuatl (Aztec) Indian
and considers himself to be a part of the Nahuatl diaspora. He was
born and raised in Monterrey, Mexico and has participated with a
folkloric dance group in Monterrey for three years, performing
mainly Mexican Traditional dances. Also, he has presented dance
improvisation on several occasions in downtown Mexico City with a
local dance group. He has also taught Latin dance rhythms (Cumbia,
Salsa, Merengue, Bachata and others) in Europe (Denmark and
Germany) between 1996 and 1997. He has participated in two shows
in Canada, the first one at the University of Lethbridge in 2001.
At this show, Gerardo performed a traditional Javanese dance mixed
with Buddhist meditative practices, and a contemporary dance piece
that incorporated improvisational dance and electronically
generated music. The second show was for Lathbridge’s
International Dance Day in April of 2002. There he performed a
longer version of the same piece being performed for Red Rhythms,
called "Transformations". He is currently living in Oklahoma and
is a proud member of the New Tallahasse (Tallahasse Wvgogee)
ceremonial grounds in Eastern Oklahoma.
