Eloy J Rojas PRESENTE

It’s a rite of passage. A moment where my body finally caught up with what my heart already knew: I no longer dance to survive, to defend myself, or to be accepted. I dance to inhabit myself. This work is about integration. About reconciling the child who danced without fear with the adult who now chooses presence over protection. Within the piece lives Ogún, the warrior who retreats into the forest, who hides to survive, who hardens to keep going. And then comes Oshún, embodied through Yara: soft, luminous, relentless in her love. She doesn’t fight him. She finds him. She reminds him why he came out of the jungle in the first place. I’m no longer running from my story. I’m standing inside it, with roots, clarity, and gratitude. This is not a performance. It’s a return. And a beginning. I also want to thank my students. It is a deep honor to be able to turn my personal history into my work, and to know that you choose to be there for it. What we share goes beyond “classes” or “projects.” Seeing you connect, feel alive, move, and recognize yourselves through my story is the greatest gift an artist can receive. Because of you, this stopped feeling like a job a long time ago. It became communion. Thank you for trusting me with something so personal, and for turning it into something collective. And of course, none of this would exist without my mother. Thank you for your unconditional support, for your magical hands that created the costumes, for your eye, your sensitivity, and your artistic intuition that helped shape this work in ways only you could. Thank you for walking beside me, always. And finally… thank you to myself. For surviving. For insisting. For transforming pain into language, movement, and beauty. After everything I’ve lived, I can’t believe I’m here, watching my story become something this meaningful. I am my own biggest fan. And yes — I am a champion. 💚
