Choreography of no more than 10 minutes

Submission Dates: December 15 – January 15, 2026
Dance Meets Fashion es una iniciativa del Koubek Center que fusiona dos universos creativos — la danza y el diseño de moda — en un programa inmersivo que promueve la colaboración interdisciplinaria, la experimentación artística y la visibilidad de nuevos talentos.
Este programa abre un espacio único para que bailarines y coreógrafos emergentes y avanzados del Sur de la Florida presenten su trabajo en un contexto profesional, al tiempo que ofrece una plataforma de exhibición para los diseños de estudiantes de diseño de moda, conectándolos directamente con el mundo escénico.
Convocatoria
Se invita a bailarines y coreógrafos del Sur de la Florida a postular una pieza corta de danza.
Un panel de profesionales seleccionará cinco proyectos entre todas las propuestas recibidas.
Los proyectos seleccionados iniciarán un proceso de colaboración con estudiantes de diseño de moda, quienes diseñarán el vestuario original inspirado en la propuesta artística de cada coreografía.
Muestra final
El programa culminará con una presentación en vivo en el Koubek Center el 22 de febrero, donde las piezas de danza y los diseños de vestuario se presentarán conjuntamente en escena, seguidos de un Q&A con los artistas y diseñadores.

Cosmic Curiosity
2026-01-28 - 2026-01-31 | Koubek Center Theater, 2705 SW 3rd Street, Miami, FL, 33135, United States
COSMIC CURIOSITY The Life and Times of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz
Written & Directed by Carmen Peláez
Cosmic Curiosity brings to life the story of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, a 17th-century Mexican nun, poet, and scholar whose love for learning defied expectations. At a time when education for women was rare, she pursued knowledge with determination, becoming one of the most influential literary figures of her era.
This engaging play blends Sor Juana’s writings with imagined moments from her daily life, exploring her intellectual journey, her decision to enter the convent, and the challenges she faced. Cosmic Curiosity captures an era when poets, scientists, and philosophers were shaping the world through discovery and debate.
Written and directed by Carmen Peláez, a Miami-based award-winning playwright, actress, and director (Fake, The Cuban Vote, Rum & Coke). She is a 2023 MacDowell Fellow, Ellie Award recipient, and HBO NYLFF Short Film Competition winner. As a dedicated teaching artist, she helps young people develop their own plays.
A small ensemble of professional actors will bring Cosmic Curiosity to the stage, making Sor Juana’s story engaging and accessible. Through historical texts and theatrical storytelling, the play explores her unconventional education, her path to becoming a writer, and her lasting influence.
Audiences will follow her journey from a self-taught child prodigy to the first Hispanic woman to publish a book in Spain, building a library of 4,000 books. Once nearly forgotten, she is now celebrated as a literary icon, even appearing on the 100 Mexican peso bill.
With humor, drama, and poetry, Cosmic Curiosity highlights a woman whose passion for learning still inspires today.
