Threads & Traces (2025)
performed at the Menil Drawing Institute
Collaboration with Anthony Almendárez, Gabriel Martinez and Paty Lorena Solórzano
Sewing patterns, field markings from a sports arena, lines of longitude and latitude, and stars that form the constellation Lyra. Ronny Quevedo’s work overlaying the visual language of abstraction, cartography, cosmology, and sport results in different cultures/worlds colliding in his drawings and schematic renderings, bringing to mind the concept of the line or more specifically the notion of threads and traces. Similar to sound, lines are ubiquitous, needing only a moment of reflection to emerge from the actions around us: from politics, walking, weaving, storytelling, talking, music, and movement, to everyday gestures. In fact, most modern Western societies (if not all) comprehend the passage of history, generations, and time in a linear manner. It’s for that reason that we can view the rise of nations as the imposition of one kind of line over another and nation-states as the enforcement of borders and boundaries that fix us into a particular place or space where our lives are lived.
Anthony Almendarez, Gabriel Martinez, and Paty Lorena Solórzano integrate sound, movement, and text to reimagine storytelling in response to artist Ronny Quevedo’s wall drawing, C A R A A C A R A, while examining the intersections of abstraction, cartography, and cosmology.

Orbit Design (2015)
Composed in 2012, Orbit Design is a musical algorithm for three or more performers, in which improvised material is structured using pre-determined rules. Its concept is based around the dynamic, yet unpredictable, movement and interactions of three (or more) celestial bodies under Newton's law of gravity. The performance is presented as more than a musical composition: rather, a journey through time and space, and an exploration of human gravitational interaction.
Director: Christina Manceor
Choreographer: Amy Cadwallader
Percussionists: Christina Manceor, Nicole Patrick, Eric Peterson, Evan Saddler
Dancers: Paula Modafferi, Molly Pabersz, Jessica Post, Paty Solorzano
University of Michigan's Detroit Observatory, Ann Arbor, MI
April 2015
