About the Group:
Founded by Fringe First Award winning actor/director/playwright Teo Castellanos, the contemporary performance company, Teo Castellanos D-Projects is a Dance/Theater company influenced by ritual, culture, spirituality, collage art, traditional and progressive music. Teo Castellanos D-Projects fuses ancient traditions with B-Boy choreography to create a new aesthetic in Dance Theater. Their first work Scratch and Burn, a peace ritual based on the war and funeral rituals of the Zulus of South Africa, was commissioned by Miami Light Project and premiered in Miami in 2005. It has since gone on to tour throughout the U.S., South America and China. Teo Castellanos D-Projects will begin touring their next piece, Fat Boy in January 2012. Fat Boy is an examination of world poverty juxtaposed with American consumerism, influenced by Balinese culture and Asian rice rituals. Fat Boy was co-commissioned by Miami Light Project, Tigertail Productions, 7 Stages and Hip Hop Theater Festival.
