Hi! I'm Lu!
I was born in Buenos Aires and I've been living in South London since 2020.
My background is in dance and currently I work as a performer, theatre-maker, drag artist and movement director. I also facilitate movement workshops.
My work is very physical and improvsisation is embedded in all my work. I have been practising Feldenkrais for many years and movement is heavily rooted in my practice.
My work is political, often with a queer lens.
theatre-making
TikTok Killed The Living Room Star
Current WIP, developing with DYCP funding from Arts Council.
My first approach to working on the links between social media and mental health, the loss of rituals and paying tribute to VHS home videos.

Winner of Best Fringe Award at Fuse International Festival.
An exploration of gender and latinidad, diving into relationship between Latina mums, Argentinian pop culture, coming out of a second closet and immigrant identity.
movement direction
I support film directors on set so they can focus on the bigger picture while I support the artists feel comfortable when moving on camera.

My drag persona is Twiinkerbell.
Twiinkerbell's boy band is drag collective Reyes del Barrio (all latinx drag artists).
He is very energetic - the brunch drag type!
