Adam Castañeda is a dancer, writer, and arts administrator based in Houston, Texas. He is the artistic director of The Pilot Dance Project, and when not performing with his own company, he dances with the Michele Brangwen Dance & Music Ensemble. Outside of dance, he is a proud full-time faculty member of the English department at Houston City College.
All too often choreographers of modern dance present work based on material they without question know and understand: their own life stories, experiments based on individual movement practices, or explorations of thematic content that shoot out of their imaginations.
